Remembering Mameyes

By: Juan José Nolla-Acosta,Elizabeth Silén-Afanador

On October 7th, 1985, the Mameyes community became known to Puerto Rico and the world. A massive landslide destroyed a large portion of it and buried alive a large number of its residents. As a remembrance the government built a monument but it has been abandoned, vandalized and profaned despite the fact that the whole area is the final resting place of those whose bodies couldn't be recovered. What was Mameyes? How did the residents live? How did this tragedy happen? Why did it happen? These questions and others will be answered and we will remember the people who lived in Mameyes. This book seeks to bring attention towards a community that was an important part of life in the city of Ponce, so future generations know about Mameyes and that it is not forgotten.

Elecciones en Puerto Rico -- Tomo II (1952-1964)

By: Juan Jose Nolla-Acosta, JD

Este libro cubre las elecciones de 1952 al 1964, desde el dominio maximo del PPD, en 1952, hasta el primer relevo de gobernadores, aunque del mismo partido, en 1964. Cubre el ascenso del movimiento Estadista y la caida del movimiento Independentista. This book covers the elections held in Puerto Rico between 1952 and 1964.

Presidential Primaries in Puerto Rico

By: Juan Jose Nolla-Acosta,Elizabeth Silen-Afanador

Puerto Rico, like all the other US Territories, has a very limited participation in the process to elect the President. Both major parties have given Puerto Rico some delegates at their national convention. This book concentrates on the experience Puerto Rico has had on the nominating processes of both parties, particularly since 1980, when it began having presidential primaries. Unfortunately, once the primary season ends, Puerto Rico, like the rest of the territories, go back to be totally ignored by the presidential candidates. That's because the American citizens who live in Puerto Rico and the territories don't count at all in the general election. This unfair situation must change. The solution for this problem, in the case of Puerto Rico, is full admission into the union as a state. Puerto Rico has already voted twice in favor of becoming a state, in 2012 and 2017. It's time for Congress to act and grant the US citizens the political equality they have voted for.

Puerto Rico's Plebiscites

By: Juan Jose Nolla-Acosta

This book is a compilation of the results of all the plebiscites on Statehood held by Puerto Rico in 1967, 1993, 1998 and 2012. Puerto Rico has been a US territory since 1898, and Puerto Ricans are American citizens since 1917. Because of the current territorial status, American citizens of Puerto Rico don't have voting representation in Congress and can't participate in the election of the President of the US. In 2012, after three failed plebiscites, the people of Puerto Rico gave a clear message to change their current status and seek admission as the 51st state. The plebiscite contained two questions. The 1st question asked voters to decide if they wanted to keep the current territorial status. 54%% voted against the current status. The 2nd question asked voters to choose a non territorial option between Statehood, Independence and Free Association. 61%% voted for Statehood. Now is the time for Congress to act, and approve enabling legislation to make Puerto Rico state 51 of the USA.
