The book contains eleven chapters authored by academics and intellectuals from the fields of political science, history, sociology, and law, and includes a Foreword by Congressman José E. Serrano. A research essay by Bosque-Pérez (“Political Persecution against Puerto Rican Anti-Colonial Activists in the Twentieth Century”) serves as the opening chapter of the book. The section on Political Persecution in Twentieth-Century Puerto Rico also has chapters by María E. Estades-Font, Ivonne Acosta-Lespier, and José (Ché) Paralitici. The section on Contemporary Issues features chapters by José Javier Colón Morera, Jorge Benítez-Nazario, Jan Susler, and Alberto L. Márquez. The last section of the book, The Vieques Case, contains three chapters: one by Jalil Sued-Badillo, another coauthored by César J. Ayala, and Viviana Carro-Figueroa; and the final one by José Javier Colón Morera, and José E. Rivera Santana.
