Description: "What is the political future of Puerto Rico? Colony? 51st state of the United States? Independent Nation? Mario Murillo explores this question by examining how Puerto Rican politics have been shaped as much by 100 years of U.S. economic, military, and cultural domination of the territory, as by the enduring grassroots resistance of the Puerto Rican people."--BOOK JACKET.
