Foreign in a Domestic Sense

"I can hardly contain my enthusiasm for this project, which brings together an array of authoritative scholars in the field. ""Foreign in a Domestic Sense"" is the most important work of its kind of our generation, a book that advances the scholarship while having a material impact on current and future debates about Puerto Rico's self-determination."--Francisco A. Scarano, author of "Puerto Rico: Cinco Siglos de Historia"
