This pioneering study of the dynamics of city politics in one of Puerto Rico's largest townships examines the fascinating career to Benjamin Cole. A quasi-legendary figure in island politics, Cole served as mayor of MayagŸez from 1968 to 1992. His spectacular success often ran counter to the broader political trends in Puerto Rico and offers insights in the currents of change that swept the island from the 1960s through the 1990s.Based on years of intensive research, including unusually candid interviews with members of Puerto Rico's political elite, <i>The Last Cacique</i> offers the first in-depth study of local politics in Puerto Rico and one of the very few available for the Caribbean region.
