The programs have expanded to support further the interests of young theater practitioners. The Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre boasts a history of accomplishments that includes appearances by actors like the legendary Ratti Julia, original plays by plavwrights like Lynnete Serrano-Bonabarte (The Broken Arrow) and Lynne Alvarez (El guitarrc5n), and the production of diverse epic plays like Luis Rafael S<.'mchez's The Passion of Antigona Perez, Moliere's Tlze Doctor in Spite of Himself: and the hundredyear-old play Un jfbaro by Ramon Mendez Quinones. The most heavily endowed Puerto Rican company among mainland theater groups, the PRTT has been funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund; the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Administration of New York City; the New York State Council for the Arts; and the National Endmvment for the Arts, among other sponsors. Yet it is the company's dedication to creating a Puerto Rican theater as a permanent part of the professional U.S. theater world that renders it the most enduring Puerto Rican theater institution on the mainland.

Less than a year after U.S. troops landed in Guánica on July 25, 1898, Dr. Henry K. Carroll, President McKinley's special commissioner to Puerto Rico, declared that the island "is American and will be Americanized" (Carroll 61). Although U.S. officials acknowledged that Puerto Rico had a functioning government, according to William Willoughby, a key colonial policy maker, the principles on which it was based "were so completely at variance with American theory and practice that it was inevitable that radical changes would have to be made at the earliest possible moment" (119). In this article I examine the program of social engineering known as Americanization that U.S. officials zealously and optimistically pursued in Puerto Rico from 1898 to 1917. Since this campaign was devised in the aftermath of massive European immigration to the United States, I trace the development of federal and state programs to Americanize the immigrants and indicate parallels with the Americanization program in Puerto Rico. I also discuss how Puerto Rico's political leadership responded to the profoundly disruptive U.S. program to transform the island and its people. During the turbulent years between 1898 and 1917, the U.S. attained the status of a global economic power that was determined

These periods witnessed the emergence, ascendancy and decline of local political coalitions that competed for control of the control state. The coalitions articulated distinct economic projects and pursued different strategies to resolve Puerto Rico's status as an unincorporated territorial possession. Each period was also marked by insular economic restructuring precipitated by shifts in U.S. fiscal policies and changes in the economy, by U.S. congressional efforts to enact legislation to resolve Puerto Rico's dependent territorial status, and by changing perceptions of hemispheric challenges to U.S. national security interests. Resumen Este articulo examina las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico durante el Siglo Americano a traves del prisma del estado colonial e identifica ocho perfodos fundamentales de cambio polftico y econ6mico que alteraron Ia practica colonial estadounidense en Puerto Rico.
