Una novedosa y osada visi???n de la historia de Puerto Rico, desde la ???poca precolombina, hasta hoy d???a. La historia de Puerto Rico ha estado marcada por conquistas y resistencias. A lo largo de los siglos los puertorrique???os han creado y sorteado complejas ideas sobre lo que significa pertenecer a una naci???n. En este libro, Jorell Mel???ndez-Badillo ofrece una nueva interpretaci???n de la historia de Puerto Rico que da voz a los habitantes del archipi???lago y propone una nueva perspectiva sobre los retos pol???ticos, econ???micos y sociales a los que se enfrentan hoy en d???a. En este extraordinario trabajo de investigaci???n hist???rica, el autor ilumina la vibrante cultura del archipi???lago en los siglos previos a la llegada de Col???n, as??? como la compleja y turbulenta historia de Puerto Rico en los siglos que siguieron, desde la primera insurrecci???n ind???gena liderada por el poderoso cacique Agueyban??? II contra el dominio colonial en 1511, hasta el establecimiento del Estado Libre Asociado en 1952. Mel???ndez-Badillo tambi???n retrata con destreza el periodo contempor???neo, as??? como la compleja y desigual historia colonial del archipi???lago con el territorio continental de Estados Unidos. Una historia cautivadora, por momentos personal y siempre sorprendente, del colonialismo, la rebeli???n y la creaci???n de una identidad nacional, que brinda nuevas perspectivas, no solo sobre Puerto Rico y el Caribe, sino tambi???n sobre los Estados Unidos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A new panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian times to today ! For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated complex ideas about nationhood. Mel???ndez-Badillo provides a new history of Puerto Rico, highlighting the vibrant cultures of the archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus, and capturing the full sweep of Puerto Rico's turbulent history in the centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection against colonial rule by the powerful chieftain Ag???eyban??? II, to the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952. Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean but also on the United States and the Atlantic world.
