Puerto Rico en la agenda tecnológica de Estados Unidos 1890–1912: telecomunicación global y colonialismo (2015)

unapi

En este trabajo de investigación se elaboran explicaciones sobre el papel que jugó Puerto Rico en el desarrollo de la agenda de telecomunicaciones de Estados Unidos durante la última década del siglo XIX y la primera del siglo XX. La investigación, utilizando documentos primarios de la Marina de Estados Unidos, escritos de Alfred Mahan y planes de guerra elaborados por el Naval War College, logra probar el papel protagonista de las telecomunicaciones en la conducción de la guerra hispanoamericana además de la necesidad de la instalación de la tecnología en las posesiones atlánticas para el dominio del Mar Caribe. Se demuestra en el escrito que este énfasis estadounidense en las tecnologías de comunicación caracterizó a Estados Unidos durante esos primeros años del siglo XX y le permitió establecerse como poder imperial de primer orden. La investigación explica cómo Estados Unidos convirtió a Puerto Rico en un enclave tecnológico durante los primeros años de dominación colonial y los procesos políticos que los estadounidenses diseñaron para preservar la Isla como bastión imperial permanente.
