Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book will be useful to political scientists, political sociologists, and scholars of Latino and Puerto Rican studies. . . . [It makes] a contribution to voting studies while dispelling one of the most damaging myths about Puerto Ricans in the U.S. as well--namely, that their low level of electoral participation is a function of their culture."--Jose E. Cruz, State University of New York, Albany Puerto Ricans participate in elections at a far higher rate than voters in the United States, even though their election systems are similar. Why? Timely and intriguing, this study compares factors affecting voter turnout in both countries, offering lessons for political mobilization in the United States. Puerto Rico has virtually the same voting institutions as the United States; furthermore, most of the island's constitutional and legal arrangements are hostile to voting turnout. Yet voting behavior in Puerto Rico is radically different from its mainland counterpart. Combining both quantitative and qualitative analysis of data from the 1952-2000 electoral period, the author uncovers two important electoral differences that explain this bewildering phenomenon: the way political parties operate and the way people get involved in politics. He shows that Puerto Rican parties are stronger and more disciplined than American parties, with roots that go deeper into society. In addition, he says, "Puerto Rican culture apparently relates to elections with more passion and devotion than American culture. The campaign environment is much more 'carnivalesque' and festive than in the United States, thus adding to voting mobilization." His study casts doubts on the influence of some institutional and legal arrangements on voting turnout, and it highlights the importance of political parties and mobilization. On a note of caution, he points out that voter participation in Puerto Rico has steadily decreased since 1976. This trend debunks some of the myths about the island's voting turnout rate and could force Puerto Ricans to reevaluate their electoral system. He also predicts that the high level of electoral involvement of Puerto Rico may be coming to an end. Both accessible and complex, the book will be of interest to the general public and political analysts; it will also be valuable to scholars studying voter turnout, Puerto Rican politics, or the politics of Puerto Ricans and other Latinos living on the U.S. mainland. Luis Raul Camara Fuertes is assistant professor of political science at the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of the results of all the plebiscites on Statehood held by Puerto Rico in 1967, 1993, 1998 and 2012. Puerto Rico has been a US territory since 1898, and Puerto Ricans are American citizens since 1917. Because of the current territorial status, American citizens of Puerto Rico don't have voting representation in Congress and can't participate in the election of the President of the US. In 2012, after three failed plebiscites, the people of Puerto Rico gave a clear message to change their current status and seek admission as the 51st state. The plebiscite contained two questions. The 1st question asked voters to decide if they wanted to keep the current territorial status. 54%% voted against the current status. The 2nd question asked voters to choose a non territorial option between Statehood, Independence and Free Association. 61%% voted for Statehood. Now is the time for Congress to act, and approve enabling legislation to make Puerto Rico state 51 of the USA.

Book excerpt: The island of Puerto Rico was acquired by the United States in 1898 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. For the past 117 years, Puerto Rico has remained a territory with close economic and social ties to the United States. Puerto Ricans are United States citizens at birth, have served in all branches of the U.S. military since 1917, do not pay Federal income taxes, are not allowed to vote for the President of the United States, and have no voting representation in the United States Senate or the House of Representatives. On November 6, 2012, a referendum concerning the political status of Puerto Rico was held on the island. This was the fourth time a vote on the political status of the island had been held and the first time the result had been in favor of changing political status. The voters were asked to answer two questions: 1) Whether they wished to maintain Puerto Rico's current political status; 2) Regardless of the choice in the first question, whether they preferred statehood, independence, or to be a "sovereign free associated state." The results of the vote according to the Puerto Rico State Elections Commission (CEE, as it's known by its Spanish acronym) were that approximately 54.0% voted "no" for the first question, with 46% voting "yes"; and approximately 61.2% chose the "statehood" option in the second question, with independence receiving 5.49% and sovereign free association 33.34%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thoughtful, fair-minded, and learned, Cadava's eye-opening book will teach experts on American politics things they didn't even know they didn't know." — Rick Perlstein, bestselling author of Nixonland and The Invisible Bridge “Geraldo Cadava’s history...provides a unique vantage point on US politics; on the shifting terrains of foreign policy, labor, and religion; and on the changing nature of specific states, as well as on deeper ideological fights over the soul of the country: is it to be an inclusive nation of immigrants, or, as the nativists today say, a country founded on white supremacy? An excellent, insightful study.” — Greg Grandin, professor of history at Yale University and author of The End of the Myth “Geraldo Cadava offers a fascinating examination of the socioeconomic interests and foreign policy concerns that have drawn Hispanics/Latinos into a rapidly changing Republican Party. If readers harbor the mistaken idea that Hispanics are a monolithic voting bloc, this book should dispel this idea once and for all. Though the work is written for a general audience, even experts on Hispanic politics and voting behavior will find much that is new and surprising in these chapters.” — María Cristina García, author of The Refugee Challenge in Post–Cold War America
