Margaret M. Power's new history of the PNPR focuses on how it built a broad movement with active networks in virtually all of Latin America, much of the Caribbean, and New York City. This hemispheric view introduces a sprawling transnational network, nurtured by the PNPR from its founding in 1922 through its military actions of the 1950s and beyond that included individuals, parties, organizations, and governments throughout the Americas, and it resituates the Puerto Rican nationalist movement as a transnational revolutionary influence and force.

Reviews
"By reintegrating Puerto Rico into a hemispheric context, this book recovers the PNPR as an important piece missing from the history of Latin American anti-imperialist struggles. . . . Highy Recommended."—CHOICE
"This fascinating story often decenters the party's history from Pedro Albizu Campos and illuminates lesser-known and unknown characters while also decentering the history of the party from a strictly Puerto Rican setting. A fine read!"—Kirwin Shaffer, Penn State University–Berks College
"Breaks important new ground in the study of twentieth-century Puerto Rican politics. Powers's evidentiary base is strikingly broad, reaching from newspapers in multiple countries to oral history interviews to documents obtained via archives on no fewer than three continents."—Michael Staudenmaier, Manchester University
