Because many of the documents and books about Puerto Rico have been
written by the island's colonizers, only the victors were
celebrated. With this in mind, the author has expressly composed
this book from the viewpoint of the colonized, suppressed, and
exploited. She challenges a previously-held notion that the Tainos
simply gave up at the first sight of the Spaniards, and shows that
they not only fought the intruders, but continued to resist them
for more than sixty years after the battle of Yaguecas. The author
discusses the fate and contributions of Africans who, as slaves or
as free persons, became instrumental in Puerto Rico's social and
economic development and shows how this multi-cultural Caribbean
island brings together the global traditions of the Americas,
Africa, and Europe.
