The 51st State dives straight into Puerto Rico's tug-of-war over becoming America's next State, framing the talk around freedom, fairness, and the rights of everyday people. Mixing eye-opening facts with a libertarian twist, the book pushes back against the usual power gaps and heavy rules that come with being a US territory. It then argues for a tomorrow where islanders have full votes, richer job chances, and the same political clout that mainland neighbors enjoy. Supporters of statehood, backers of independence, and everyone sitting on the fence will find a fresh nudge to ask what real liberty means for Puerto Rico and the entire country.

He earned both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Political Science with an emphasis on conflict studies, governance, and social justice from American Military University. His interdisciplinary master's degree combines professional security practice with critical, human rights, and historiographical theories. Jose is currently pursuing another Master's degree in Global History. Jose focuses his research on labor and culturally constructed social problems pertaining to, and the communities on, which there is minimal documentation. Jose's works are informed by the desire to help reframe problematic perceptions, particularly those pertaining to the dancers and sex workers. Jose comprehensively examines social problems and equips himself with academic knowledge, which ensures his writing is fact based, straightforward, and empathetic. Jose is also a member of the District of Columbia National Guard and is currently stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. He is still working on his provocative, informative, and inspiring essays. Jose aims to inspire judgment suspension through this book, one person at a time.
