A panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian times to today

Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking territory of the United States with a history shaped by conquest and resistance. For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated complex ideas about nationhood. Jorell Meléndez-Badillo provides a new history of Puerto Rico that gives voice to the archipelago's people while offering a lens through which to understand the political, economic, and social challenges confronting them today.

In this masterful work of scholarship, Meléndez-Badillo sheds light on the vibrant cultures of the archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus and captures the full sweep of Puerto Rico's turbulent history in the centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection against colonial rule in 1511--led by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II--to the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952. He deftly portrays the contemporary period and the intertwined though unequal histories of the archipelago and the continental United States.

Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean but on the United States and the Atlantic world more broadly.

Warm, Comfortable, and Great Value!!
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black Red Buffalo Check, Size: Medium
This fleece is cozy and does a good job keeping warm in cold weather. The material is soft, the fit is comfortable, and it layers well over a shirt. Not heavy-duty outerwear, but perfect for everyday wear and great quality for the price.

Thick and Warm, but not too comfy
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Light Grey Heather, Size: Medium
These are great pullover 1/4 zip fleece sweaters. They are relatively thick and very warm, about twice as thick and stiff as the common Columbia fleece pullover. The fleece is very dense, almost like a jacket. Pros: - Quite thick and warm, almost too warm - Good fitting cut (doesn't bulge in the wrong places) - Good value for the price - Lots of different color choices Cons - Quite thick - a bit stiff and not very stretchy (not great to sleep in, can be hard to put on or take off) - It has a seam running down the middle of the back. It doesn't bother me, but it would be better if it had no seam there. Overall recommended if you're looking for a thick/warm fleece sweater of decent quality, without spending much money.

Awesome.
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Light Grey Heather, Size: X-Large
Fleece jacket is nothing short of awesome. I picked up a few over the years and always been pleased with them. Worn to work, for casual wear, And now that i'm retired just around the house to keep warm. They wear well, Wash well, Hold their shape stitching and zippers. Watching their price I scored this win for twelve dollars and sixty cents. They lend themselves well to layering as well. A real value in this day and age. Very true to size very comfortable.

So Soft and Warm
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Great quality fleece for the price. It’s soft, warm, and fits true to size without feeling bulky. The quarter-zip design makes it easy to layer, and it looks nice enough for everyday wear. I’d definitely buy this again.

Good Value!
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue Heather, Size: XX-Large
I bought one of these jackets a few years ago it is fairly thick and is great for outdoor wear. This new one is thinner material by quite a bit, but still well made. I like the zippered pockets. It is fuzzy and comfortable. Might even buy a third one in a different color!
