"This book is a substantial contribution to the historical and
interpretive sociology of the modern world. It is written as both a
critique of the modernist paradigm, and as a reinterpretation of
the contribution of Puerto Rico to the making of the modern world
from a 'decentered' perspective."--Philip McMichael, author of
"Development and Social Change: A Global Perspective
"Grosfoguel's grounding in the complexities of the Puerto Rican
past and present provides us with original and generative
scholarship that requires a new self-reflexive approach to
knowledge and nationalism, to colonialism and capitalism, to
citizenship and subjectivity. Within ethnic studies, Grosfoguel's
approach is a crucial contribution to the progress of the field
beyond ethnic particularism and toward the identification and
understanding of the broader social forces that create social
differences and give them their determinate social
meanings."--George Lipsitz, author of "American Studies in a Moment
of Danger "
"Grosfoguel's book should become the definitive work on Puerto
Rican migratory circuits."--Jose David Saldivar, author of "Border
Matters: Remapping American Cultural Studies
"Grosfoguel discovers the relationship between the coloniality
of power, the migratory movement to the Caribbean, the formation of
new global cities like Miami, and tendencies toward a new
geo-strategic configuration of a global scale."--Anibal Quijano,
Professor of Sociology, Binghamton University
"In this exciting look at Puerto Rico from a world-systems
perspective, Grosfoguel examines colonialism with a fresh
theoretical eye."--Immanuel Wallerstein, author of "The Modern
World-System
