Why does it sometimes disappear? How do groups, like the Puerto Rican community, become impoverished, lose social influence, and become marginal to the rest of society? How do they turn things around, increase their wealth, and become better able to successfully influence and defend themselves?Boricua Power explains the creation and loss of power as a product of human efforts to enter, keep or end relationships with others in an attempt to satisfy passions and interests, using a theoretical and historical case study of one community?Puerto Ricans in the United States. Using archival, historical and empirical data, Boricua Power demonstrates that power rose and fell for this community with fluctuations in the passions and interests that defined the relationship between Puerto Ricans and the larger U.S. society. 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zUnited States$xPolitics and government 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCommunity life$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 610 $aBoricua. 610 $aRicans. 610 $aStates. 610 $aUnited. 610 $aattempt. 610 $acase. 610 $acommunity--Puerto. 610 $acreation. 610 $aefforts. 610 $aenter. 610 $aexplains. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahuman. 610 $ainterests. 610 $akeep. 610 $aloss. 610 $aothers. 610 $apassions. 610 $apower. 610 $aproduct. 610 $arelationships. 610 $asatisfy. 610 $astudy. 610 $atheoretical. 610 $ausing. 610 $awith. 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical participation$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory. 676 $a305.868/7295 676 $a305.8687295 700 $aSa?nchez$b Jose?
