<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Puerto Ricans experience their citizenship and cultural nationalism within the context of an unincorporated territory in which they have limited participation in the legal framework devised to govern them.

What does it mean for a U.S. citizen to be seen as the 'Other'?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Puerto Ricans experience their citizenship and cultural nationalism within the context of an unincorporated territory in which they have limited participation in the legal framework devised to govern them.
