Puerto Rico: The People and Culture (Lands, Peoples & Cultures)

By Erinn Banting

Book Overview

From being a stopping point for pirates and privateers, to a Spanish colony and later an American colony, the island of Puerto Rico has been a strategic piece of real estate for hundreds of years. Children will learn about Puerto Rico's fights for independence and autonomy and about the island's many cultures past and present. Special interest spreads describe the many festivals held each year and show the day in a life of an average student.
