Puerto Rico

Journal of Cultural Economy, 2015, vol. 8, issue 1, 62-74

Abstract: The rhetoric of neoliberalism that applies to the periphery - self-determination, free trade, and the like - has been a part of the discourse surrounding Puerto Rico (and subsequently much of Latin America) for a lot longer than 1973, the year that David Harvey and Naomi Klein establish as the birth year of neoliberalism. In this article, I trace the history of Puerto Rico - 1897-2013 - and the consistent tropes of a rhetoric of neoliberalism at play.
