Foreign in a Domestic Sense: Puerto Rico, American Expansion, and the Constitution Hardcover - 2001
by Christina Duffy Burnett (Editor); Burke Marshall (Editor)
First line
It is now a century since the war that brought Puerto Rico under the American flag-the war that John Hay described (in a famous letter to his friend and political ally Theodore Roosevelt) as "the splendid little war; begun with the highest motives, carried on with magnificent intelligence and spirit, favored by that fortune which loves the brave."
From the rear cover
"I can hardly contain my enthusiasm for this project, which brings together an array of authoritative scholars in the field. ""Foreign in a Domestic Sense"" is the most important work of its kind of our generation, a book that advances the scholarship while having a material impact on current and future debates about Puerto Rico's self-determination."--Francisco A. Scarano, author of "Puerto Rico: Cinco Siglos de Historia"
