This is the first book of essays by Will Herberg. His writings have had a major impact on American intellectual and political thought. They represent milestones of a spectrum of ideological stance, comprising American Marxism and conservatism as well as Jewish and Christian theology, all of which were influenced by Herberg during his 50-year intellectual odyssey from Marxism to Judaism. This book includes Herberg’s most widely-known essays on Jewish and Christian theology, religious life in America, church-state relations, and America’s civil religions. While some of these articles and essays were controversial in their original political intent, today they are a testimony to his intellectual brilliance and his commitment to humanity, universal values, a classic liberal arts education, and mutual tolerance of all major religions..

Reference

This book interprets Puerto Rico’s first and most significant attempt to end its colonial dependence on Spain. Looking at the imperial policies and conditions within Puerto Rico that led to the 1868 rebellion known as El Grito de Lares, the author compares the colonization of Puerto Rico with that of Spanish America and explores why the island’s independence movement began decades after Spain’s other colonies of the region had revolted. Through the extensive use of previously unresearched archival materials of the rebel movement, she corrects many errors found in earlier accounts of the revolt, and offers new interpretations of the movement’s impact on Spanish-Puerto Rican relations.
