SUMMARY:A More Perfect Union: How the Insular Cases Prolonged Colonialism in Puerto Rico
DESCRIPTION:The Insular Cases have condemned to oblivion a definitive solution to the political status of Puerto Rico\, maintaining it as a colony of the United States for 125 years. As a prelude to the 250th anniversary of this American nation’s Declaration of Independence in 2026\, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports multiple initiatives for dialogue and reflection about this event. \nPuerto Rico Humanities Foundation and Ágora Cultural Architects invite you to the conference A more perfect union: how the Insular Cases prolonged colonialism in Puerto Rico. Award-winning historian and journalist Pedro Reina-Pérez will discuss the political\, socioeconomic and cultural repercussions Puerto Ricans suffer today due to decisions on the Insular Cases. \nAbout the speaker: \nPedro Reina Pérez is an award-winning historian and journalist specializing in contemporary Spanish Caribbean history\, and the director of the Harvard Puerto Rico Winter Institute.
