Examines Puerto Rican approaches to public education in colonial schools during the first half of the twentieth century. Rather than seeing US empire in Puerto Rico during this period as a contest between two sharply polarized groups, this views their interaction as a process of negotiation. Although educators and families rejected some tenets of Americanization they also redefined and appropriated others to their benefit to increase literacy and skills required for better occupations and social mobility.
