Acerca de esta escucha
On March 21, 1937, Puerto Rico witnessed a harrowing event that left an indelible mark on its history. Known as the Ponce Massacre, this tragedy unfolded on Palm Sunday when a peaceful march for independence spiraled into unimaginable violence. This Blood on Palm Sunday recounts this event, exploring the colonial repression, the rise of nationalism, and the resilience of a people fighting for dignity and autonomy. Set against the complex political backdrop of the early 20th century, this book delves into the underpinnings of the independence movement in Puerto Rico. It follows the buildup of tensions as Nationalist leaders, influenced by global anti colonial movements, rallied Puerto Ricans towards self-determination. With firsthand accounts and rare historical documentation, Alex Alicea uncovers the premeditated nature of the crackdown ordered by colonial authorities, exposing the calculated brutality that led to the deaths of unarmed civilians, including women and children. Blood on Palm Sunday is more than a historical account; it’s a tribute to the spirit of resistance that fueled Puerto Rico’s struggle for justice. Listeners will be drawn to the emotional depth of the tragic story of a 7 year old girl lost in the massacre, and the powerful last words of a dying activist who used his blood to write, "Long live the Republic, Down with the Murderers." Alex Alicea’s narrative invites listeners to witness the transformation of grief into resolve, inspiring a renewed understanding of Puerto Rican identity and the ongoing quest for self-determination. This book is essential for listeners passionate about history, social justice, and the fight against oppression. Blood on Palm Sunday not only brings to light a lesser known chapter of Puerto Rican history but also resonates with contemporary struggles for autonomy. Discover the unfiltered truth of the Ponce Massacre and gain insight into the enduring resilience of Puerto Rico’s people by diving into this powerful narrative.
