“Puerto Rican Radicalism in the United States, 1960–1990 is a significant, provocative, and potentially groundbreaking contribution to the study of Puerto Rican radicalism and social movements. It challenges established interpretations by critically examining the independence movement's limited political success while demonstrating its enduring influence on political life in both Puerto Rico and the continental United States. The book makes its case in clear, engaging prose and coherent structure, resulting in thought-provoking, incisive, and essential reading for scholars and advanced students of Latino politics, race and ethnicity, radicalism, and social movements.”

“Puerto Rican Radicalism in the United States is a provocative and comprehensive critique of a history that has been selectively neglected by mainstream historians and exaggerated by progressive academics. This is a refreshing alternative history for those weary of blind hero worship, platitude driven narratives, and ideological claims about the Puerto Rican left. This book is essential reading for those seeking to address the ongoing crisis of our times in more effective ways.”
