«Recomendaría este libro. Me hizo recordar Los Hijos de Sánchez.» --Comentario de los jueces del ILBA

Una novedosa y osada visión de la historia de Puerto Rico, desde la época precolombina, hasta hoy día.

La historia de Puerto Rico ha estado marcada por conquistas y resistencias. A lo largo de los siglos los puertorriqueños han creado y sorteado complejas ideas sobre lo que significa pertenecer a una nación. En este libro, Jorell Meléndez-Badillo ofrece una nueva interpretación de la historia de Puerto Rico que da voz a los habitantes del archipiélago y propone una nueva perspectiva sobre los retos políticos, económicos y sociales a los que se enfrentan hoy en día.

En este extraordinario trabajo de investigación histórica, el autor ilumina la vibrante cultura del archipiélago en los siglos previos a la llegada de Colón, así como la compleja y turbulenta historia de Puerto Rico en los siglos que siguieron, desde la primera insurrección indígena liderada por el poderoso cacique Agueybaná II contra el dominio colonial en 1511, hasta el establecimiento del Estado Libre Asociado en 1952. Meléndez-Badillo también retrata con destreza el periodo contemporáneo, así como la compleja y desigual historia colonial del archipiélago con el territorio
continental de Estados Unidos.

Una historia cautivadora, por momentos personal y siempre sorprendente, del colonialismo, la rebelión y la creación de una identidad nacional, que brinda nuevas perspectivas, no solo sobre Puerto Rico y el Caribe, sino también sobre los Estados Unidos.

«Would recommend this book. The book took me back to Los Hijos de Sanchez.» --Insight from the ILBA judges

A new panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian
times to today !

For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated
complex ideas about nationhood. Meléndez-Badillo provides a
new history of Puerto Rico, highlighting the vibrant cultures of the
archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus, and
capturing the full sweep of Puerto Rico's turbulent history in the
centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection
against colonial rule by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II, to the
establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952.

Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently
surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a
national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto
Rico and the Caribbean but also on the United States and the
Atlantic world.

OK for the price, but overall comfort is avergae
Size: 934-Z, Color: Mustard
Easy to put together, color (mustard) accurate to images, and while I understand this is not a high-end chair, I feel like it still needs to be rated for its quality. Pros: the seat cushions are fairly comfortable and it rolls well. Adjustable footrest is easy enough and mostly sturdy. Cons: For a tall office chair, it doesn't go up high enough. I actually had to lower my standing desk to sit at it, which then isn't where I want it when I'm standing now. It's also a bit wobbly. The seat area's attachment to the post isn't as solid as it should be for a tall chair, so while sitting, it does tend to lean/slope forward and wobble side to side. The lumbar support is not adjustable, so I'm not even really sure what it does. And the armrests are not very comfortable to use. Since they are hard plastic, they are just a bit too rigid to rely on for any comfort. They are basically there to hold on to when you're getting out of the chair.

Good Value for a Tall Chair
Size: 934W-Z, Color: White
I have received this chair just today and would like to give my first impressions of it. Height is super adjustable as well as the foot rest. My desk is very tall (~34 inches vs standard ~29 inches) and does not suit a standard height chair. This chair's height is enough to sit comfortably at mybut also still having adjustment to be even higher. Lumbar support is a manual adjustment that can be adjusted by sliding the lumbar piece up or down and it seems it can be tiled as well. No reclining feature or slight backrest tilt adjustment. I'm used to my chairs reclining so it feels a little awkward siting in a flat base and straight backrest. I feel like I'm sitting too forward or leaning forward slightly but is probably something I can get use to. Easy to put together and feels very sturdy. Plastic parts of chair are made from a really sturdy plastic, like playhouse plastic materials. Wheels roll around carpet easily. Mesh seems to be a strong material, though the mesh feels kind itchy on bare skin. Overall, I think this is a good chair to get if you're needing a tall chair for a good value and can sacrifice no backrest tilt.

Excellent value for money!
Size: 934W-Z, Color: Black, Size: 934W-Z, Color: Black
I absolutely love this office chair! I needed a chair that could support my standing desk without sacrificing comfort, and this one completely exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly sturdy and durable, well-made, and the height adjustment is super convenient, making it easy to find the perfect fit. Even during long hours of work, the seat is comfortable, and the ergonomic design effectively reduces pressure on my back and legs. I love its clean, modern look—it fits my home office perfectly. Assembly was quick and easy, and for this price, the quality is absolutely fantastic!

Perfect chair!
Size: 934-Z, Color: Blue, Size: 934-Z, Color: Blue
I have an adjustable-height desk (also purchased from Amazon) and needed a drafting chair for those times when my body gets tired of standing. This chair fits the bill and then some! I put it together myself; it took me about an hour, but would take me about half that next time, since now I know what to do (and what NOT to do!). All the parts were there; there are even spare parts (see photo). All the holes were drilled in exactly the right places, too, which isn't always the case when I buy things from Amazon (my standing desk is a great example). The chair fits me; I'm short (5'3.5"), and often the seats of furniture are too deep for me to rest my feet flat on the floor. The depth of the seat on this chair is just a little over 18 inches, and with the adjustable footrest ring, it's perfect. I don't think a tall or heavy person would fit in it, to be honest. But it's perfect for those of us who are vertically challenged. I love that it glides easily on my hardwood floors and that it turns 360 degrees. The chair comes in numerous luscious colors, so take your pick! It is very sturdy, has good lumbar support, and the seat and seat back are very comfortable. And the arms flip up, which was an absolute must when I was shopping for this chair. I got it on sale, too -- $109.00 -- and I'm delighted with this purchase.

Excellent chair design, extremely comfortable and exceptionally easy instructions to follow making for simple assembly. Love the amply wide cushioned seat and ergonomic backrest. The height adjustment feature works perfectly as well as positioning of the foot ring . Having the ability to raise the arms is also a big plus! I highly recommend this product for attractive appearance, comfort features, functionality and operation. Really nice chair!
