Summary | "The History of Puerto Rico" by R. A. Van Middeldyk is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Puerto Rico's complex history, from its discovery by Columbus in the late 15th century to the early 20th century, focusing on the Spanish colonial period. It delves into the social, economic, and political dynamics of the island, highlighting the impact of colonial rule on the indigenous population and the nature of Spanish governance. The opening of the book provides a detailed context regarding the significance of Puerto Rico in the broader narrative of American imperialism and colonial history. It introduces the preface, emphasizing the importance of understanding Puerto Rico's past, particularly under Spanish governance, which has often been overlooked in American historical narratives. The text outlines the island's transition from Spanish to American control after the Spanish-American War, setting the stage for a closer examination of events, figures, and social conditions that defined Puerto Rico's history over centuries. The author's intent is to present an accurate and comprehensive history that reflects the unique experiences of Puerto Ricans amidst colonial struggles and changes in governance.
