The Levant: A Fractured Mosaic
At first I was getting into the articles in this collection, and I mean, they were fine. They gave me an insight into one set of viewpoints regarding race and ethnic identity in Puerto Rico. The kicker was the last article though; all others were written by academics. The last was written by a self-identified Taino. He critiqued the other articles and gave input as to how he feels, often in objection to the academics. Overall worth a read, but not the most fantastic book ever written. Sadly, not enough is written about this subject to compare to.
