{"product_id":"puerto-rico-an-interpretive-history-olga-jimenez-de-wagenheim-9781558761216","title":"Puerto Rico, An Interpretive History","description":"Because many of the documents and books about Puerto Rico have been written by the island's colonizers, only the victors were celebrated. With this in mind, the author has expressly composed this book from the viewpoint of the colonized, suppressed, and exploited. She challenges a previously-held notion that the Ta nos simply gave up at the first sight of the Spaniards, and shows that they not only fought the intruders, but continued to resist them for more than sixty years after the battle of Yag ecas. The author discusses the fate and contributions of Africans who, as slaves or as free persons, became instrumental in Puerto Rico's social and economic development and shows how this multi-cultural Caribbean island brings together the global traditions of the Americas, Africa, and Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olga Jim駭ez de Wagenheim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558761217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558761216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Wiener Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.37w x 1.08d","brand":"Olga Jim駭ez de Wagenheim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980092768511,"sku":"9781558761216","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad0b4617-912a-4077-9921-096406453245.jpg?v=1683248347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/puerto-rico-an-interpretive-history-olga-jimenez-de-wagenheim-9781558761216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
