| Summary: | In this bold social history, Lillian Guerra explores the nature of popular-class and elite political consciousness in Puerto Rico from 1889 to 1940, the period when North American colonialism was taking shape. Through the prisms of gender, race, and class she analyzes the folk sayings of subalterns in tandem with the literary production of the intelligentsia, producing a mosaic of debate, dissent, and affirmation regarding Puerto Rican identity. |
