The Battle For Paradise: Puerto Rico Takes on the Disaster Capitalists

โ€Fearless necessary reporting . . . Klein exposes the `battle of utopias` that is currently unfolding in storm-ravaged Puerto Ricoโ€”a battle that pits a pitilessly neoliberal plutocratic โ€˜paradise` against a community movement with Puerto Rican sovereignty at its center.โ€ โ€”Junot Dรญazโ€We are in a fight for our lives. Hurricanes Irma and Marรญa unmasked the colonialism we face in Puerto Rico, and the inequality it fosters, creating a fierce humanitarian crisis. Now we must find a path forward to equality and sustainability, a path driven by communities, not investors. And this book explains, with careful and unbiased reporting, only the efforts of our community activists can answer the paramount question: What type of society do we want to become and who is Puerto Rico for?โ€ โ€”Yulin Cruz, Mayor of San Juan, Puerto RicoIn the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich โ€œPuertopiansโ€ are locked in a pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, bestselling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation`s radical, resilient vision for a โ€œjust recovery.โ€
