By (author): Naomi Klein

In the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich 'Puertopians' 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 'just recovery.' All royalties from the sale of this book in English and Spanish go directly to JunteGente, a gathering of Puerto Rican organisations resisting disaster capitalism and advancing a fair and healthy recovery for their island.
