No other work published in English has dealt with the Puerto Rican status question in such detail.The central problem in the status debate has been: how to strike a happy balance between Puerto Rico?s economic needs, which could be filled through uninterrupted association with the United States, and the cultural divergence between the mainland and the island. Bringing together new and significant information drawn from government records and personal papers of U.S. officials, this book will be of interest to all serious students of Puerto Rican affairs, as well as to U.S. and Puerto Rican government and political leaders. 606 $aStatutes$2pplt 606 $aPuerto Rico$2pplt 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aInternational relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00977053 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aPuerto Rico$2fast 607 $aPuerto Rico$xRelaciones (generales) con EE.
