About this listen
In this episode of Puerto Rico: A Living History, we explore the profound impact of the Treaty of Paris (1898) on Puerto Rico, a pivotal moment that marked the island’s transfer from Spanish to U.S. control without the consent of its people. We unpack the political, cultural, and economic disruptions that followed, contrasting Puerto Rico's experience with those of Cuba and the Philippines. Additionally, we discuss Spain’s modern proposal for "Nacionalidad Reparativa" (reparative citizenship), a potential step toward addressing the historical injustices caused by the treaty. Join us as we reflect on Puerto Rico’s colonial past, its unresolved political status, and what reclaiming Spanish citizenship could mean for its future.
