Sinopsis

This book interprets Puerto Rico’s first and most significant attempt to end its colonial dependence on Spain. Looking at the imperial policies and conditions within Puerto Rico that led to the 1868 rebellion known as El Grito de Lares, the author compares the colonization of Puerto Rico with that of Spanish America and explores why the island’s independence movement began decades after Spain’s other colonies of the region had revolted. Through the extensive use of previously unresearched archival materials of the rebel movement, she corrects many errors found in earlier accounts of the revolt, and offers new interpretations of the movement’s impact on Spanish-Puerto Rican relations.

Críticas

"This book represents, without doubt, the most complete study of the insurrection of September 23, 1868, which has become to many a symbol of Puerto Rican national identity. . . . Its value rests on going beyond the Grito symbol, or the Grito myth, to reveal a Grito that is much more profound, interesting, and complex: the human Grito. . . . The text is permeated by a feeling of immediacy that allows one to appreciate the deeds of the flesh-and-blood individuals involved. The narration of events, of fusion-- and confusion--, of boldness and fear, of dexterity and blunder, of plans and fortuitous conditions produces the true pleasure of reading this book." --El Mundo
