Why Should Puerto Rico Become the 51St State?

With this book, "Why Should Puerto Rico Become the 51st State?", Dr. Gonzlez attempts to answer two basic questions.
1.Why has Puerto Rico been a colony for the past 527 years?
2.How could Puerto Rico stop being a colony?
Colonialism refers to populations whose government's sovereignty resides in another country without fair and equal representation in that government. Puerto Rico is a territory that belongs to the USA since 1898 with the signature of the Treaty of Peace between Spain and the USA after the Spanish- American War. The original book published in 2007, "The Governor's Suits", was a response to a book written by an ex-president of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico: "The Trials of the Oldest Colony of the World" by Jos Tras Monje. After years of asserting that Puerto Rico was a self-governing country, he declared that PR is a colony. He did not understand why Puerto Ricans have accepted colonialism. In his book, Dr. Gonzlez explained that the experiences of colonialism have been endured because the experiences as a colony for all these years have branded the Puerto Ricans and shaped their personalities to accept and endure colonialism with stoicism. With a near future discussion coming to Congress about the status of the relations between Puerto Rico and the USA, Dr. Gonzlez feels responsibility to create awareness that PR is a colony, and since 2012, in a popular vote, 54% of Puerto Ricans voted to discontinue the mutually consented colonialism up to then.
