Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-06 00:00:00 Harold Smith Go's argument and structure of the book makes it easy to follow and understand the evolution of the politics of the elites in Puerto Rico and the Philippines at the beginning of American rule. However, the over all writing of the book feels repetitive to an unnecessary point, and seems to fall into the style that seems to hamper down so many academics.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-27 00:00:00 Martina Mendez Go's model of culture as a "semiotic system-in-practice" is interesting inasmuch as he tries to walk a line between structuralism and discourse, but the book is highly repetitive, and fails to make up in depth what it lacks in breadth. Also, I effing hate reading sociology.
