Summary: "Lo que dice la historia" by Salvador Brau is a collection of letters addressed to the Minister of Overseas Affairs, written in the late 19th century. This work is a historical account that critically examines the relationship between Puerto Rico and Spain during a period marked by colonial tensions and assertions of national identity. It presents a vivid exploration of Puerto Rican history, highlighting the political rights of its citizens and their unwavering loyalty to the Spanish Crown despite facing systemic discrimination. In this book, Brau eloquently defends Puerto Rican identity and its people's contributions to the Spanish Empire while denouncing the class distinctions imposed by Spanish authorities, which regarded Puerto Ricans as "third-class Spaniards." Through a series of well-argued letters, he recounts pivotal moments in Puerto Rico's history, addressing themes of loyalty, patriotism, and the struggle for civil rights. Brau illustrates the island's endeavors to assert its identity and political rights amidst external pressures and internal challenges, ultimately calling for equal treatment and recognition of Puerto Ricans as full citizens. The book serves as both a historical testament and a powerful assertion of cultural pride. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
