Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and Mexican cuisine, it is a unique tasty blend of Spanish, African, Taíno, and American influences, using such indigenous seasonings and ingredients as coriander, papaya, cacao, nispero, apio, plantains, and yampee. Locals call their cuisine "cocina criolla". Cocina criolla yautia ). The mingling of flavors and ingredients passed from generation to generation among the different ethnic groups that settled on the island, resulting in the exotic blend of today's Puerto Rican cuisine. Lunch and dinner generally begin with sizzling-hot appetizers such as bacalaitos , crunchy cod fritters; surullitos , sweet plump cornmeal fingers; and empanadillas , crescent-shaped turnovers filled with lobster, crab, conch, or beef. Soups are a popular beginning for meals on Puerto Rico. There is a debate about whether one of the best-known soups, frijoles negros (black-bean soup), is Cuban or Puerto Rican in origin. Nevertheless, it is still a savory, if filling, opening to a meal. Another classic soup is -chicken soup with rice- which manages to taste somewhat different in every restaurant. One traditional method of preparing this soup calls for large pieces of pumpkin and diced potatoes or yautias (the starchy root of a large-leaved tropical plant whose flesh is usually yellow or creamy white).

This leads to some strange juxtapositions - parking lots and plazas, freeways and fountains, skyscrapers and shanties - but it's all apiece with the Caribbean's hybrid history. Travellers who venture into the island's mountainous interior or explore its undeveloped coasts come across stately hill towns where the locals in the plaza seem to have been feeding the same pigeons for decades, and reefs where divers can see 30 species of fish in as many seconds.

Puerto Rico Time and Date Puerto Rico Culture Back to Top Modern Puerto Rico is generally well-off by Latin-American standards. Beginning in the 1940s, a political coalition between the Puerto Rican leader Luis Muñoz Marín and the U.S.-appointed governor, Rexford Guy Tugwell, was forged to promote a self-help program, called “Operation Bootstrap,” of economic development and social welfare. In a little more than four decades, much of the territory's crushing poverty was eliminated. This was done partly through emphasis on the development of manufacturing and service industries, the latter related to an enormous growth in tourism. Improvements have been made largely with the cooperation of the United States, but relationships with that nation have also become a focal point of political turmoil. Various factions have bitterly disputed the political status of the island, and, although a majority voted to retain its commonwealth relationships, strong minorities have continued to push for statehood or—at times with violence—freedom. Puerto Rico’s Spanish heritage is preserved in many sites in San Juan, particularly in the insular part of the city known as Old San Juan. Among these sites are the El Morro and San Cristóbal fortresses, both part of San Juan National Historic Site; La Fortaleza, once a fortress and now the governor’s palace, its oldest section completed in 1540; Old Santo Domingo Convent, built between 1523 and 1528; and Fort San Gerónimo, completed in the late 18th century.

Though political will for independence is a slippery animal, vocal Puerto Ricans clearly see themselves as distinct from their gringo cousins - and there's little doubt that the island has much more in common with its Caribbean and Latino neighbors than it does with Uncle Sam. Much Puerto Rican literature is produced by expatriates and deals with national identity and the links between acá (here) and allá (there). 'Nuyoricans' such as Pedro Juan Soto, Emilio Díaz Valcárcel and José Luis González tackle the elusive idea of home in stories, novels and poetry.

Caribbean Special Events Culture Puerto Rico is a melting pot of cultures Taíno (Native Indian), Spanish, African, and North American. They converge in our food, music, language, architecture, religion, lifestyles, arts, and crafts. Social customs have changed as a result of a major shift in the economy, from agricultural to industrial. However, even after one century as part of the U.S., the strong Spanish influence is the common denominator for our cultural fabric. Music Musical Instruments Art Literature ...

MULTICULTURAL THE PEOPLES VOICE SERIES Culture and History Grades 4-Adult 3 books on Latino history – written by scholars from within the cultures! Written by authors who grew up in Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican cultures, these three books in the Peoples Voice series – Cuba: Culture and History Dominican Republic: Culture and History , and Puerto Rico: Culture and History – tell the story of these countries with respect and dignity. Too often the proud histories of these countries have been misrepresented in – or even omitted from – many "standard" U. S. History courses; a glaring omission, given the number of people living in the United States who are of Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Dominican descent. The Peoples Voice texts can be used as a supplement to any U. S. History or World Cultures course or as stand-alone texts. Packaged together at a special price, the texts provide a clear view of what these Hispanic/Latino cultures have meant in the history of the United States and world history. Each book in the Peoples Voice series has several keys features to help students learn and comprehend what they are reading. Each chapter ends with Content Questions, Critical Thinking Questions, Enrichment Exercises, and Writing Assignments.

In December 1998, the third referendum in 30 years was held on the issue: voters were asked whether they wished Puerto Rico to become the 51st state of the USA, become independent, enter a compact of Free Association (similar to that which operates in a number of Pacific micro-territories) or retain the status quo. By a narrow majority, they voted for the status quo. There is still a strong lobby for full independence for Puerto Rico, and the issue remains a sensitive issue on the island: its advocates received a boost in 2003 when the US military ended its use of the island of Vieques for military exercises after 60 years. Puerto Rico has a representative in the US House of Representatives; the inhabitants of the island are US citizens, but they may not vote in presidential elections. The latest election for Governor, held in November 2000, was a three-way fight between PNP candidate Carlos Pesquera, Sila Maria Caldero of the PPD and Ruben Berrios Martine of the small
