Citizens Without A State tells the story of the states of the union and how they became states. What does this have to do with Puerto Rico? The book includes plenty of information about Puerto Rico and the Island’s relationship with the United States. It also gives a clear and entertaining explanation of the admission process for the 32 territories which have already become states — and the lessons for Puerto Rico from their experiences.
