Abstract
In this book, I shared how a minority of Puerto Ricans experienced Puerto Rican citizenship and cultural nationalism within the context of an unincorporated territory in which citizens have limited participation in the legal framework devised to govern them. Moreover, I illustrated how Puerto Ricans in this study imagined and experienced a non-sovereign nation. The majority of Puerto Ricans in this study (16 of 19) favors independence and advocate for a sovereign nation. As I have indicated before, what is a majority in this study remains a minority in Puerto Rico. Nevertheless, the three Puerto Ricans in this study who do not favor independence for Puerto Rico self-identified as belonging to the Puerto Rican cultural nation and treasured their Puerto Rican citizenship.
