Recently revised to include the latest current events, this classic
reference presents the historical, social, political, and cultural
aspects of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico, an island rich with culture
and national pride, continues to inspire debate over its
designation as a commonwealth of the United States. This updated
edition of a popular encyclopedia captures important historical,
social, political, and cultural developments of the oldest colony
in the world, up to and including the region's current status in
relation to the United States. The fascinating work is full of
facts, figures, and narratives of the struggles, achievements, and
creations of the Puerto Rican people. Essays highlight the area's
economy, geography, religion, education, language, radio,
television, social media, and films. A focus on the contributions
of key historical figures showcase the stories of Ramon Power y
Giralt, the first envoy to the Spanish Courts; and Juan Mari Bras,
founder of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, among others. The
second edition features recent developments in the commonwealth,
including the election of its first female governor, the
introduction of the first sales tax, and the financial crisis that
shut down schools. Offers insight into more than 500 years of
Puerto Rican history Introduces the concept of "Nuyoricans," a term
for those who have helped to define and create alternative
definitions of Puerto Rico Contains biographical entries on
historical figures and political leaders Includes a selection of
photographs to visually engage the reader
