This volume sets out current debates about Puerto Rico. The title simultaneously refers to the results of a non-binding 1998 plebiscite held in San Juan to determine Puerto Rico's political status, the ambiguities that have historically characterized its political agency, and the complexities of its ethnic, national, and cultural identifications.

The first book solely devoted to Puerto Rican visability and cultural impact. The author looks as such pop icons as JLo and Ricky Martin as well as West Side Story.

Discussions of Puerto Rican cultural politics usually fall into one of two categories - nationalist or colonial. This work moves beyond this narrow dichotomy, and includes many essays written from the perspectives of groups that are not usually represented.
