Puerto Rican Government and Politics:

The first of its kind, this major bibliography covers all aspects of Puerto Rican government and politics defined in the broadest manner. More than 5,000 entries identify books, articles, and reports not only on such traditional subjects as political parties and government institutions, but also dealing with culture and identity, gender, race relations, economic issues, the media and politics, and other topics related to political culture. A chapter on Puerto Rican politics within the United States adds still another dimension. Both English- and Spanish-language materials are included.
