520    "The Legal Construction of Identity: The Judicial and 
       Social Legacy of American Colonialism in Puerto Rico" 
       investigates how the relationship between the US and 
       Puerto Rico has been created and recreated over the past 
       100 yrs. More specifically, the author engages in the 
       exploration of how law has contributed to the construction
       of a particular social reality, a reality embodied by the 
       colonial relationship between the United States and Puerto
       Rico. The book discusses the legal constructs and 
       governing norms involved in the struggle for identity, 
       specifically a Puerto Rican identity, one which claims 
       rights to US citizenship and participation while also 
       asserting a separate cultural identity. The law as a 
       crucial arbiter of self-determination and self-perception 
       is also analyzed in relation to Puerto Ricans striving to 
       form a distinct national identity. The audience for this 
       book includes social scientists and legal scholars but 
       also to anyone interested in the symbiotic relationship 
       between law and society. (PsycINFO Database Record (c)
