À propos de cet audio
In this enlightening episode of "Puerto Rico: A Living History," we take a deep dive into the Foraker Act of 1900, a pivotal piece of legislation that significantly shaped Puerto Rico's political and cultural landscape. We explore the backdrop of this act, set in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, and how it marked a new era under the American flag for Puerto Rico. Delving into the intricate details of the Act, we examine its political and economic implications, the introduction of the Official Language Act, and the complex reactions it elicited among Puerto Ricans. The episode also sheds light on the factors leading to the Act's eventual replacement by the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917. Join me as we unravel this crucial chapter in Puerto Rico's history.
