Puerto Rican nationalism

Puerto Rican nationalism is a political and cultural movement emphasizing Puerto Rico's identity, heritage, and the desire for self-determination. It advocates for various forms of governance, including independence, statehood, or enhanced autonomy from the United States. Nationalists seek to preserve Puerto Rican culture, language, and traditions, often in response to historical colonial influences. The movement encompasses a range of perspectives, from those wanting full independence to those favoring statehood, reflecting the island's complex relationship with the U.S. and its quest for greater control over political and economic affairs.
