À propos de cet audio
Journey into the heart of Puerto Rico's extraordinary history in "Boricua! The History and Future of Puerto Rico," by Donald Elton. From the rich, often overlooked story of the indigenous Taíno civilization, through the brutal conquest by Spain and complex dynamics with the United States, this riveting book paints a nuanced portrait of a people whose identity has been shaped by resilience and resistance.
Through vivid narratives and meticulous research, Elton explores the profound impact of historical events—from the first arrival of Columbus and the fierce resistance of Taíno warriors, to the pivotal 1898 American landing at Guánica Bay, setting in motion changes still felt today. Listeners will gain fresh perspectives on Puerto Rico’s political challenges, cultural vibrancy, and the ongoing struggle for autonomy and recognition.
"Boricua!" is more than history; it is an illuminating tribute to a people whose pride and perseverance continue to inspire. Whether you're discovering Puerto Rican heritage for the first time or deepening your existing appreciation, Elton’s passionate storytelling will leave you with a renewed respect for the island's past and optimism for its future.
