Book Description
This book describes the history of an important and controversial decade in the life of the people of Puerto Rico in which political practices were initiated that were finally investigated in public views of the Civil Rights Commission in the summer of 1987. The book reveals for the first time in Puerto Rican history, the content of documents that were classified "secret" for more than 30 years in the United State's National Archives in Washington. It refers to La Mordaza Age, (The Gag Age) the years between 1947 and 1957 on that Caribbean island, placing it in its historical context, describing the process of approving the bills that characterized it (in particular the famous Law 53 of 1948), the reaction of public opinion, the effects it produced in the years 1948-1952 and 1954-1956, and its re-evaluation and repeal, three decades ago. It also contains an epilogue that updates the historical debate up to the date of the public hearings in 1987. The author says: "You can not understand the recent history of Puerto Rico without knowing the history of La Mordaza. This story must serve to reopen the memory of many, to avoid repeating what happened, and above all, to finish eradicating the gag of the soul of Puerto Ricans.

Book Description
Puerto Rico, one of the last and most populated colonial territories in the world, occupies a relatively unique position. Its lengthy interaction with the United States has resulted in the long-term acquisition of expanded legal rights and relative political stability. At the same time, that interaction has simultaneously seen political intolerance and the denial of basic rights, particularly toward those who have challenged colonialism. In Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule, academics and intellectuals from the fields of political science, history, sociology, and law examine three themes: evidence of state-sponsored political persecution in the twentieth century, contemporary issues, and the case of Vieques.

Book Description
An ambitious history of flags, stamps, and currency—and the role they played in US imperialism. In Imperial Material, Alvita Akiboh reveals how US national identity has been created, challenged, and transformed through embodiments of empire found in US territories, from the US dollar bill to the fifty-star flag. These symbolic objects encode the relationships between territories—including the Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam—and the empire with which they have been entangled. Akiboh shows how such items became objects of local power, their original intent transmogrified. For even if imperial territories were not always front and center for federal lawmakers and administrators, their inhabitants remained continuously aware of the imperial United States, whose presence announced itself on every bit of currency, every stamp, and the local flag.
