Book Synopsis The Insular Cases and the Emergence of American Empire by : Bartholomew H. Sparrow
Book excerpt: Focuses on America's first attempts at empire-building through a string of U.S. Supreme Court decisions in the early part of the 20th century that tried to define the legal and constitutional status of America's island territories: Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines, among others, and reveals how the Court provided the rationalization for the establishment of an American empire.
