Abstract
After the Hispano-American War various publishers, magazines, and newspapers disseminated multiple writings about Puerto Rico, which participated of the articulation of the American imperialist-colonialist imaginary and the institution of the American colonial project in Puerto Rico. This article approaches this imperial literature to examine its representations of nature and its relationship to the capitalist production of nature when Puerto Rico was still part of the American direct empire (1898-1917). It analyzes how the authors of these writings contributed to the resourcing of nature, as well as to the supervision and cataloging of the available resources to then assign value to these resources. As such, they contributed to the formal incorporation of these resources to the circuits of American capital.References
