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.
Reviews books on the history of Caribbean countries. Includes The Tainos: Rise and Decline of the People Who Greeted Columbus, By Irving Rouse, The Boni Maroon Wars in Suriname, by Wim Hoogbergen, translated by Marilyn Suy and Alabi's World, by Richard Price.;
