Paperback / softback
Description
With this book, "Why Should Puerto Rico Become the 51st State?", Dr. Gonzalez attempts to answer two basic questions. 1. Why has Puerto Rico been a colony for the past 527 years?2.
How could Puerto Rico stop being a colony?Colonialism refers to populations whose government's sovereignty resides in another country without fair and equal representation in that government.
Puerto Rico is a territory that belongs to the USA since 1898 with the signature of the Treaty of Peace between Spain and the USA after the Spanish- American War.
The original book published in 2007, "The Governor's Suits", was a response to a book written by an ex-president of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico: "The Trials of the Oldest Colony of the World" by José TrÃas Monje.
After years of asserting that Puerto Rico was a self-governing country, he declared that PR is a colony.
He did not understand why Puerto Ricans have accepted colonialism.
In his book, Dr. González explained that the experiences of colonialism have been endured because the experiences as a colony for all these years have branded the Puerto Ricans and shaped their personalities to accept and endure colonialism with stoicism.
With a near future discussion coming to Congress about the status of the relations between Puerto Rico and the USA, Dr. González feels responsibility to create awareness that PR is a colony, and since 2012, in a popular vote, 54% of Puerto Ricans voted to discontinue the mutually consented colonialism up to then.
