Title: Puerto Rico: The Trials of the Oldest Colony in the World by Jose Trias Monge, Jose Trias Monge ISBN: 0-300-07618-5 Publisher: Yale Univ Pr Pub. Date: April, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Exposes the "cupones por megatones" US citizenship theory
Comment: Essentially, Trias Monge is not the most appropriate person to demand additional autonomy for Puerto Rico (he was responsible for the systematic use of dossiers by the Puerto Rican police to gather intelligence against those who precisely demanded in the past the same things that he's demanding now), but he has a point. Puerto Rico has become a military colony, exchanging "cupones" (entitlements) for "megatones" (no need to explain here). Faust would be proud; Trias' point is precisely that. Puerto Ricans are nominal US citizens, furthering annexation would require a change in the island's cultural mindset. An eye opener, should be required reading for US Congressmen and Puerto Ricans alike.
Rating: 5
Summary: Must read for all Americans, including those in Puerto Rico
Comment: There has been much misunderstandings between Americans in the mainland and those who live in Puerto Rico for over 100 years. It is time for Congres to take an active role in their resposibility! If the Declaration of Independence is more than empty words, then all American Citizens would have a voice. Those 4 million in Puerto Rico do not. Is that DEMOCRACY?
