Review
"A pithy account of Puerto Rico's troubled 500-year history . . . [and] a carefully reasoned case for a new approach to the perennially unresolved issue of Puerto Rico's status vis-a-vis the United States."--Thomas Carothers, New York Times Book Review
"A highly regarded authority on the constitutional history of Puerto Rico, author Jose Trias Monge is uniquely qualified to assess the island's 100 years of colonialism. . . . Trias Monge's major contribution lies not in his factual account of U.S. colonialism (which is complete and largely objective), but in his comparison of Puerto Rico's experience with the experiences of American colonies in the Pacific and French, British, and Dutch colonies in the Caribbean. . . . He outlines four alternative strategies to end the island's subordination to the United States: a transfer of sovereignty, a negotiating commission, a binding plebiscite, and a local constitutional convention on status. His impartial analysis of these four options constitutes the most valuable contribution of this volume. . . . This volume is highly recommended for general readers, policymakers, and students of Puerto Rican affairs. It would make a valuable contribution to both graduate and undergraduate collections on U.S.-Latin American relations."--Martin J. Collo, Journal of Developing Areas
"Trias Monge's new book is a welcome addition to the vast bibliography on Puerto Rico's status question."--Luis Martinez-Fernandez, Rutgers University, The Journal of American History
"A well-written and detailed, yet concise, political and legal history that documents the century-long Puerto Rican struggle to transcend the humiliating colonialism the US has enforced on the country. Jose Trias Monge makes a compelling case for the US to take immediate and decisive action to terminate Puerto Rico's colonial status."--Pedro Caban, New Political Science
"Trias Monge has written a balanced portrait of that island nation's relationship to the US, and what he calls 'possible paths to decolonization' . . . All levels."--Choice
"Nearly a century has passed since the United States annexed Puerto Rico. Jose Trias Monge's book is a thoughtful chronicle of a quasi-colonial relationship and a persuasive argument for the U.S. to focus attention on the island and liberate it from ambiguity."--Robert Pastor
"Grounded in a deep understanding of the constitutional and political history of the United States-Puerto Rico relationship, Trias Monge presents a compelling case for prompt and decisive action to end the island's colonial condition, once and for all. As we reflect on one hundred years of this relationship, the author helps us envision a host of bold initiatives that will place it on a path of decolonization. The book is compulsory reading for anyone who eagerly awaits that outcome and hopes to engage actively in it."--Francisco A. Scarano
