Al filo del poder: subalternos y dominantes en Puerto Rico, 1739-1910

Front Cover
La Editorial, UPR, 1993 - History - 205 pages
"The unevenly clustered historical conditions of the Caribbean nations bind us to the revival and redefinition of the ideals of unification begotten by 19th Century Puerto Rican thinkers. Coleccion Caribena is intended to build connection points that will enable the exchange of ideas, languages and forms. In doing so this collection will reflect the plural character of the region while publishing a comprehensive sample of works in various fields-Literature, Social Sciences, Literary Criticism, History-and, hopefully in various languages. The various manifestations of order, the subordinate and the resistance movements prevalent from the middle of the 18th until the beginning of the 20th Century in Puerto Rican society are the departing points for this collection of essays."
