Since
its acquisition by the US in 1898, Puerto Rico has served as a testing
ground for the most aggressive and exploitative US economic, political,
and social policies. The devastation that ensued finally grew impossible
to ignore in 2017, in the wake of Hurricane María, as the physical
destruction compounded the infrastructure collapse and trauma inflicted
by the debt crisis. In Fantasy Island, Ed Morales traces how, over the
years, Puerto Rico has served as a colonial satellite, a Cold War
Caribbean showcase, a dumping ground for US manufactured goods, and a
corporate tax shelter. He also shows how it has become a blank canvas
for mercenary experiments in disaster capitalism on the frontlines of
climate change, hamstrung by internal political corruption and the US
federal government's prioritization of outside financial interests.
Taking
readers from San Juan to New York City and back to his family's home in
the Luquillo Mountains, Morales shows us the machinations of financial
and political interests in both the US and Puerto Rico, and the
resistance efforts of Puerto Rican artists and activists. Through it
all, he emphasizes that the only way to stop Puerto Rico from being bled
is to let Puerto Ricans take control of their own destiny, going beyond
the statehood-commonwealth-independence debate to complete
decolonization.
