{"product_id":"puerto-rico-olga-jimenez-de-wagenheim-9781558761223","title":"Puerto Rico: An Interpretive History from Pre-Columbian Times to 1900","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 Jimenez De Wagenheim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558761225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558761223\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 01\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.05w x 0.92d","brand":"Olga Jimenez De Wagenheim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051534643455,"sku":"9781558761223","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2afbb281-9f17-4f7f-8834-df805335e32f.jpg?v=1685013671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/puerto-rico-olga-jimenez-de-wagenheim-9781558761223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
