Customer Reviews

A good book, but too many errors to serve as an introduction

This book serves as a very good way to begin to understand the colonial realtionship that has existed (and continues to exist) between Puerto Rico and the US. The only real weakness in the book (at least in the paperback version) is the incredible number of typograhic errors throughout the text. Since I knew much of the material that the book was talking about already, I just corrected the errors in my head, but someone who doesn't can come away quite confused.
