Sinopse
Características

With this book, Why Should Puerto Rico Become the 51st State?, Dr. González attempts to answer two basic questions.1.Why has Puerto Rico been a colony for the past 527 years?2.How could Puerto Rico stop being a colony?Colonialism refers to populations whose governments sovereignty resides in another country without fair and equal representation in that government. Puerto Rico is a territory that belongs to the USA since 1898 with the signature of the Treaty of Peace between Spain and the USA after the Spanish- American War. The original book published in 2007, The Governors Suits, was a response to a book written by an ex-president of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico: The Trials of the Oldest Colony of the World by José Trías Monje. After years of asserting that Puerto Rico was a self-governing country, he declared that PR is a colony. He did not understand why Puerto Ricans have accepted colonialism. In his book, Dr. González explained that the experiences of colonialism have been endured because the experiences as a colony for all these years have branded the Puerto Ricans and shaped their personalities to accept and endure colonialism with stoicism. With a near future discussion coming to Congress about the status of the relations between Puerto Rico and the USA, Dr. González feels responsibility to create awareness that PR is a colony, and since 2012, in a popular vote, 54% of Puerto Ricans voted to discontinue the mutually consented colonialism up to then.
