VIDA Y HACIENDA: The Life and Legacy of Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos is the first full-length biography of the renowned Puerto Rican revolutionary leader written in English. This groundbreaking work not only presents the essential historical narrative known from most accounts, but also explores key aspects of Albizu Campos’s life that are often overlooked—especially in English-language literature.
The book delves into his early childhood, academic excellence, and military training through Harvard’s R.O.T.C. program. It also highlights his bold 1936 attempt to convene a constitutional convention while simultaneously on trial for seditious conspiracy. Additionally, it brings to light the story of his wife, Dr. Laura Meneses de Albizu Campos, a significant revolutionary figure in her own right.
Thoroughly researched and richly detailed, this biography offers a powerful and nuanced portrait of one of the most influential voices in Puerto Rico’s struggle for self-determination.
