Former New York State Assemblyman Nelson A. Denis (who once taught Brian Spanish on the air) has spent years researching the 1950 nationalist rebellion against U.S. military rule in Puerto Rico.  He talks about his book, War Against All Puerto Ricans: Revolution and Terror in America’s Colony (Nation Books, 2015), and how that little-known history plays out politically today.

→EVENT: Nelson Denis will be reading at The Harvard Club (35 West 44th Street) on Wednesday, April 14 at 7:30PM.
