N2  - "Through legal research, essays, presentation and analysis of jurisprudence, Judge Gelpí invites the reader to the heart of a controversy that has confused and divided the Pueto Rican people since the American invasion on July 25, 1898. Judge Gelpí frames his work in the lack of justice that faces American citizens residing in unincorporated territories of the United States"
