  Puerto Rico - What Everyone...

  Jorge Duany

  • 0

  Acquired by the United States from Spain in 1898, Puerto Rico has a peculiar status among Latin American and Caribbean countries. Though they are US citizens, Puerto Ricans do not have their own voting representatives in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections (although they are able to participate in the primaries). In recent years, Puerto Rico's colossal public debt sparked an economic crisis that catapulted it onto the national stage and intensified the exodus to the US, bringing to the fore many of the unresolved remnants of its colonial history. 
   
   
   
  Beginning with a historical overview of Puerto Rico, Duany covers the Spanish colonial period (1493-1898) and the first five decades of the US colonial regime. He then delves into the demographic, economic, political, and cultural features of contemporary Puerto Rico. New material examines the multiple issues affecting Puerto Rico in the last decade, including a prolonged recession, the devastating impact of two hurricanes, and the largest migrant wave ever recorded from Puerto Rico. 
   
   
   
  While a popular tourist destination, few beyond Puerto Rico's shores are familiar with its complex history and diverse culture. Duany takes on the task of educating readers on the most important facets of the unique, troubled, but much beloved isla del encanto.

  Among the world’s most recognizable man-made structures, the Dome of the Rock – known in Arabic as the Qubbat as-Sakara – is also one of its most mysterious. Although much of the Dome’s construction, reconstruction, and later additions are well-known from historical texts and archeological work, what it represents, why it was built where it was, and even its use remain the subject of scholarly controversy. Known for its immense size and beauty, and also for being located in the middle of Jerusalem, one of the world’s holiest cities, the Dome of the Rock has been the focus of political leaders who wished to legitimize their rule, religious warriors who believed that it empowered their weapons, and pilgrims who thought it was a site of salvation and enlightenment. As it drew these often diverse and sometimes disparate people to it, it has served the purposes of devout Jews, Muslims, and Christians, who -- although often not peacefully sharing the site -- seem to recognize its spiritual importance. 
  The Dome of the Rock has been many things to many people over the centuries, and historians, art historians, and archaeologists have studied the Dome of the Rock and its background extensively. Academics have created an accurate chronology of its life, as well as details about how the monument was built, including the construction and artistic techniques that were used. The dome was built on the site of what is believed to have been the Solomonic Temple that the Israelites built to worship their god, Yahweh, setting the stage for the entire area to be a holy site for the Abrahamic religions over the following centuries. Historians believe that the Umayyad Muslims saw this background as a prime location to build one of the greatest religious complexes in the Islamic world.
