“This is a serious contribution by serious scholars to an understanding of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans, wherever they may reside, whatever their politics, their gender, race, or other essential attributes.” —Contemporary Sociology “This book is unusual for an edited volume in that its thirteen essays contribute to a cohesive and integrated analysis of the chosen subject - how to think about Puerto Rican conceptions of self and community—of puertorriquenidad (Puerto Ricanness). The theme is Puerto Rico but the book has important things to say to all scholars of politics, sociology and literary theory as well as to those who blindly pose nationalism—always by its nature cruel and exclusive—as the only alternative to forms of colonialism. It deserves to be widely read.” —The Ethnic Conflict Research Digest “A provocative collection.” —Latin American Research Review Contributors: Jaime E. Benson-Arias, Arlene Dávila, Chloé S. Georas, Manuel Guzmán, Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz, Agustín Lao, Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel, Mariano Négron-Portillo, José Quiroga, Raquel Z. Rivera, Alberto Sandoval Sánchez, Kelvin A. Santiago-Valles. 320 pages | 5 7/8 x 9 | 1997 |
