Puerto Ricans in the Empire

Tobacco Growers and U.S. Colonialism

Beschreibung

Most studies of Puerto Rico's relations with the United States have focused on the sugar industry, recounting a tale of victimization and imperial abuse driven by the interests of US sugar companies. But in Puerto Ricans in the Empire, Teresita A. Levy looks at a different agricultural sector, tobacco growing, and tells a story in which Puerto Ricans challenged US officials and fought successfully for legislation that benefited the island.
