304 p, Rethinks the social processes that violently refashioned Puerto Rican society in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on recent theorizations of post-structuralism, feminism, critical criminology, subaltern studies, and post-coloniality he examines the mechanisms through which colonized subjects become recognized, contained, and represented as subordinate. At issue are the cultural practices that necessarily accompanied and aided U. S. colonialist enterprises in Puerto Rico during a shift in the world capitalist market and in geopolitical hegemony with the Caribbean.

346 p., Ranging from the time of slavery and indentureship, to national independence in 1962 and the present day, this book shows how gender inequalities have been perpetuated for the benefit of exploitative systems from slavery to the present day. The book explores women's roles and activities both in colonial ideology and in reality.

339 p., Study of the development of education in the British West Indian colonies during the last half of the nineteenth century. Examines the educational policies and curriculum used in schools following the abolition of slavery. During this period the nature and development of the educational system in the region was profoundly affected by the decline of the sugar industry, the emergence of black and colored middle classes and the threat they posed to the ruling white elite, and the institutionalization of cultural divisions between the black and white populations.

223 p, Ileana Rodriguez's House/Garden/Nation: Space, Gender, and Ethnicity in Post-Colonial Latin American Literatures by Women offers an insightful look into the role the feminine has played in the constructions of nation and nationalism in critical moments of Latin American history. Although feminism is at the center of the study, it is always predicated by concerns of ethnicity and social class. (BNET);
