The One Left Behind Is Now With US


Dear Neteros,
A review that got delayed last Friday is now available.

In it, Norberto Barreto Velázquez performed a most difficult and yet necessary job of going through Julian Go’s dense book and distilling its essentials. Go, in an attempt at comparative history, looks at the elite’s in the Philippines and Puerto Rico as they struggled, maneuvered and adapted to living under the new American colonial masters. Barreto Velázquez’s review is a must-read for those interested in the subject of U.S. imperialism and those working on similar comparative works. Differently from the book itself, the review is readable and sensible. The fact that it is in Spanish shows our commitment to publish in languages other than English.
