Description
Summary:"After the United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898, the new un-incorporated territory sought to define its future. Seeking to shape the next generation and generate popular support for colonial rule, U.S. officials looked to education as a key venue for promoting the benefits of Americanization. At the same time, public schools became a site where Puerto Rican teachers, parents, and students could formulate and advance their own projects for building citizenship. In Negotiating empire, Solsiree del Moral demonstrates how these colonial intermediaries aimed for regeneration and progress through education."--Back cover.
