Wagenheim, Kal, Puerto Rico: A Profile, Second Edition, Foreword by Piri Thomas, New York: Praeger, 1978.

Reviewed by Dr. Thomas Mathews in The Hispanic American Historical Review, (1971) 51 (4).

From the cover:
”As Piri Thomas says in his foreword, Puerto Rico is ‘an objective, comprehensive, carefully researched study of the island – of its people, history, culture, geography, economics, politics and beauty. …It presents a credible picture of what modern day Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are all about; at the same time it gives adequate and relevant attention to the past’.”
