César Pérez Lizasuain’s El malestar en la colonia: ensayos sobre política y la crisis puertorriqueña (2007-2025) [Discontent in the Colony: Essays on Politics and the Puerto Rican Crisis (2007-2025)] will be published next month (December 2025) by Editora Educación Emergente.
Description: El malestar en la colonia: ensayos sobre política y la crisis puertorriqueña (2007-2025) is an X-ray of the vicissitudes and struggles of a long-standing colony called Puerto Rico, as seen through the eyes of legal sociologist César Pérez Lizasuain. It covers the period of the deepest crisis the country has experienced to date—referred to in the text as a meta-crisis—and focuses with unwavering commitment on the local scene, undoubtedly exponentially battered by global events.
From 2007 to the present, many forms of discontent have plagued this colony. As each of these issues becomes entrenched in our increasingly precarious daily lives, Pérez Lizasuain’s perspective and diagnosis sharpen. However, his aspiration for an independent, sovereign, and anti-capitalist Puerto Rico remains constant in this study, from past decades to the present.
