Fantasy Island: Colonialism, Exploitation, and the Betrayal of Puerto Rico Puerto Rico, a small island in the Caribbean, has been a colony of the United States for 122 years since its acquisition in 1898. During this time, it has served as a testing ground for the most aggressive and exploitative US economic, political, and social policies. The devastation that ensued has finally become impossible to ignore, particularly in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017, which compounded the infrastructure collapse and trauma inflicted by the debt crisis. In Fantasy Island, Ed Morales provides a crucial accounting of how Puerto Rico has been used as a colonial satellite, a Cold War showcase, a dumping ground for US manufactured goods, and a corporate tax shelter. He also reveals how it has become a blank canvas for disaster capitalism on the frontlines of climate change, hamstrung by internal political corruption and the prioritization of outside financial interests by the US federal government. The book takes readers on a journey from San Juan to New York City and back to the author's family's home in the Luquillo Mountains, providing a detailed examination of the machinations of financial and political interests in both the US and Puerto Rico.
Fantasy Island: Colonialism, Exploitation, and the Betrayal of Puerto Rico Puerto Rico, маленький остров в Карибском море, был колонией Соединенных Штатов в течение 122 лет с момента его приобретения в 1898 году. За это время она послужила испытательным полигоном для наиболее агрессивной и эксплуататорской экономической, политической и социальной политики США. Последовавшие за этим разрушения, наконец, стало невозможно игнорировать, особенно после урагана «Мария» в 2017 году, который усугубил коллапс инфраструктуры и травмы, нанесенные долговым кризисом. В книге «Остров фантазий» Эд Моралес дает важнейший отчет о том, как Пуэрто-Рико использовался в качестве колониального спутника, витрины времен холодной войны, свалки для американских промышленных товаров и корпоративного налогового убежища. Он также показывает, как это стало пустым холстом для катастрофического капитализма на переднем крае изменения климата, на который давит внутренняя политическая коррупция и приоритизация внешних финансовых интересов федеральным правительством США. Книга проводит читателей в путешествие из Сан-Хуана в Нью-Йорк и обратно в дом семьи автора в горах Лукильо, предоставляя подробный анализ махинаций финансовых и политических интересов как в США, так и в Пуэрто-Рико.
Fantasy Island : Colonialisme, Exploitation et le Betrayal de Puerto Rico Puerto Rico, une petite île des Caraïbes, a été une colonie des États-Unis pendant 122 ans depuis son acquisition en 1898. Au cours de cette période, elle a servi de terrain d'essai pour les politiques économiques, politiques et sociales les plus agressives et les plus exploitantes des États-Unis. La destruction qui a suivi est finalement devenue impossible à ignorer, en particulier après l'ouragan Maria en 2017, qui a aggravé l'effondrement des infrastructures et les traumatismes causés par la crise de la dette. Dans le livre « L'île des fantasmes », Ed Morales donne un rapport crucial sur la façon dont Porto Rico a été utilisé comme satellite colonial, les vitrines de la guerre froide, les décharges pour les produits industriels américains et les paradis fiscaux des entreprises. Il montre également comment il est devenu une toile vide pour le capitalisme catastrophique à la pointe du changement climatique, sous la pression de la corruption politique intérieure et de la priorité des intérêts financiers extérieurs du gouvernement fédéral américain. livre emmène les lecteurs dans un voyage de San Juan à New York et à la maison de la famille de l'auteur dans les montagnes de Luquillo, fournissant une analyse détaillée des fraudes financières et politiques aux États-Unis et à Porto Rico.
Isla Fantasía: Colonialismo, Explosión, y la Betrayal de Puerto Rico Puerto Rico, una pequeña isla del Caribe, ha sido colonia de Estados Unidos durante 122 desde su adquisición en 1898. Durante este tiempo, sirvió como un campo de pruebas para las políticas económicas, políticas y sociales más agresivas y explotadoras de Estados Unidos. La devastación que siguió finalmente se hizo imposible de ignorar, especialmente después del huracán María en 2017, que agravó el colapso de la infraestructura y los traumas causados por la crisis de la deuda. En el libro «La isla de las fantasías», Ed Morales da el relato más importante de cómo Puerto Rico fue utilizado como satélite colonial, escaparate de la Guerra Fría, vertedero de bienes manufacturados estadounidenses y paraíso fiscal corporativo. También muestra cómo se ha convertido en un lienzo vacío para un capitalismo catastrófico al frente del cambio climático presionado por la corrupción política interna y la priorización de los intereses financieros externos por el gobierno federal estadounidense. libro guía a los lectores en un viaje de San Juan a Nueva York y de regreso a la casa de la familia del autor en las montañas de Luquillo, proporcionando un análisis detallado de las maquinaciones de intereses financieros y políticos tanto en Estados Unidos como en Puerto Rico.
Fantasy Island: Colonialism, Esplorazione, and the Betrayal of Puerto Rico Giro Rico, una piccola isola nei Caraibi, è stata una colonia degli Stati Uniti per 122 anni dal suo acquisto nel 1898. Nel frattempo è stata un banco di prova per la politica economica, politica e sociale più aggressiva e sfruttativa degli Stati Uniti. conseguenti distruzioni sono finalmente diventate impossibili da ignorare, soprattutto dopo l'uragano Maria del 2017, che ha aggravato il collasso delle infrastrutture e i danni causati dalla crisi del debito. In «L'isola della fantasia», Ed Morales fornisce un resoconto cruciale su come Porto Rico è stato usato come satellite coloniale, vetrine della guerra fredda, discariche per i beni industriali americani e rifugio fiscale aziendale. Mostra anche come questo sia diventato una tela vuota per il capitalismo catastrofico in prima linea sul cambiamento climatico, spinto dalla corruzione politica interna e dalla priorità degli interessi finanziari esterni del governo federale americano. Il libro conduce i lettori in un viaggio da San Juan a New York e ritorno a casa della famiglia dell'autore sulle montagne di Luquillo, fornendo un'analisi dettagliata delle frodi negli interessi finanziari e politici sia negli Stati Uniti che a Porto Rico.
Fantasy Island: Colonialism, Exploitation, and the Betrayal of Puerto Rico Puerto Rico, eine kleine Insel in der Karibik, war seit ihrer Übernahme im Jahr 1898 122 Jahre lang eine Kolonie der Vereinigten Staaten. Während dieser Zeit diente es als Testfeld für die aggressivste und ausbeuterischste Wirtschafts-, Politik- und Sozialpolitik der USA. Die Zerstörung, die folgte, wurde schließlich unmöglich zu ignorieren, insbesondere nach dem Hurrikan Maria im Jahr 2017, der den Zusammenbruch der Infrastruktur und das Trauma der Schuldenkrise verschärfte. In Fantasy Island gibt Ed Morales einen entscheidenden Bericht darüber, wie Puerto Rico als kolonialer Satellit, Schaufenster des Kalten Krieges, Mülldeponie für amerikanische Industriegüter und Unternehmenssteueroase genutzt wurde. Es zeigt auch, wie es zu einer leeren inwand für einen katastrophalen Kapitalismus an der Spitze des Klimawandels geworden ist, der durch interne politische Korruption und die Priorisierung externer finanzieller Interessen durch die US-Bundesregierung unter Druck gesetzt wird. Das Buch nimmt die ser mit auf eine Reise von San Juan nach New York und zurück zum Haus der Familie des Autors in den Luquillo-Bergen und liefert eine detaillierte Analyse der Machenschaften finanzieller und politischer Interessen sowohl in den USA als auch in Puerto Rico.

Fantezi Adası: Sömürgecilik, Sömürü ve Porto Riko'nun İhaneti Karayipler'deki küçük bir ada olan Porto Riko, 122 yılında satın alınmasından bu yana 1898 yıl boyunca bir ABD kolonisiydi. Bu süre zarfında, en saldırgan ve sömürücü ABD ekonomik, politik ve sosyal politikaları için bir test alanı olarak hizmet etti. Ortaya çıkan yıkım, özellikle 2017'de Maria Kasırgası'ndan bu yana, altyapının çöküşünü ve borç krizinin travmasını şiddetlendiren göz ardı etmek imkansız hale geldi. Fantasy Island'da Ed Morales, Porto Riko'nun sömürge uydusu, Soğuk Savaş vitrini, Amerikan üretimi mallar için bir çöplük alanı ve kurumlar vergisi cenneti olarak nasıl kullanıldığına dair çok önemli bir açıklama yapıyor. Aynı zamanda, iç politik yolsuzluk ve ABD federal hükümeti tarafından dış mali çıkarların önceliklendirilmesi ile ağırlaşan iklim değişikliğinin ön saflarında felaket kapitalizmi için nasıl boş bir tuval haline geldiğini gösteriyor. Kitap, okuyucuları San Juan'dan New York'a ve yazarın Luquillo Dağları'ndaki aile evine bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor ve hem Amerika Birleşik Devletleri hem de Porto Riko'daki finansal ve politik çıkarların işleyişinin ayrıntılı bir analizini sunuyor.
جزيرة الخيال: الاستعمار والاستغلال وخيانة بورتوريكو، وهي جزيرة صغيرة في منطقة البحر الكاريبي، كانت مستعمرة للولايات المتحدة لمدة 122 عامًا منذ استحواذها عليها في عام 1898. خلال هذا الوقت، كان بمثابة ساحة اختبار للسياسات الاقتصادية والسياسية والاجتماعية الأمريكية الأكثر عدوانية واستغلالية. أصبح من المستحيل أخيرًا تجاهل الدمار الذي أعقب ذلك، خاصة منذ إعصار ماريا في عام 2017، الذي أدى إلى تفاقم انهيار البنية التحتية وصدمة أزمة الديون. في Fantasy Island، يقدم Ed Morales وصفًا مهمًا لكيفية استخدام بورتوريكو كقمر صناعي استعماري، وواجهة متجر في الحرب الباردة، وأرض نفايات للسلع المصنعة الأمريكية وملاذ ضريبي للشركات. كما يوضح كيف أصبحت لوحة فارغة للرأسمالية الكارثية في طليعة تغير المناخ، مثقلة بالفساد السياسي الداخلي وإعطاء الأولوية للمصالح المالية الخارجية من قبل الحكومة الفيدرالية الأمريكية. يأخذ الكتاب القراء في رحلة من سان خوان إلى نيويورك والعودة إلى منزل عائلة المؤلف في جبال لوكيلو، ويقدم تحليلاً مفصلاً لمكائد المصالح المالية والسياسية في كل من الولايات المتحدة وبورتوريكو.
