The purpose of this research was to answer the following question, "how should we understand the state, ethnic groups, and nation? To answer this question, analyzed a proposition of "Radical Statehood" for Puerto Rico, made by some Puerto Rican intellectuals in early 1990s. My concern was on how the United States and Puerto Rico were perceived by them as political entities. As a part of the research I made interviews with some of the proposers.Discussions on the state, ethnic groups, and nation, so far, have been with a critical flaw In those discussons, two different things have not been clearly differentiate ; a status, often imagined of human beings as a member of historical communities like "nation" or "ethno-racial groups", on the one hand, and a "citizen" in the sense of right holder in a sovereign state, on the other. The above-mentioned Puerto Rican intellectuals say, "We don't want to be Americans in any sense, but we insist that we should be fully endowed with every right and obligation as a 100% U.S.citizen."Their arguments tell us that to realize a society where people are treated fairly in its true sense should transcend any differenciation based on those attributes like "language spoken", "ethnicity", "race", "gender", "class", or "educational background."

本研究的目的在于回答“如何理解国家、族群、民族”这一问题。为了回答这个问题，分析了20世纪90年代初波多黎各知识分子提出的一个“激进建州”的主张。我关心的是美国和波多黎各如何被他们视为政治实体。作为研究的一部分，笔者对一些提出者进行了访谈，认为迄今为止关于国家、民族、国家的讨论存在着一个严重的缺陷，即两个不同的东西没有得到明确的区分;一种地位，通常被想象为人类作为历史共同体的一员，如“国家”或“民族-种族群体”，一方面，另一方面，“公民”是指主权国家的权利保持器。上述波多黎各知识分子说：“我们不想成为任何意义上的美国人，但我们坚持认为，我们应该充分享有作为100%美国公民的每一项权利和义务。他们的论点告诉我们，要实现一个真正意义上的公平社会，就应该超越任何基于“语言”、“民族”、“种族”、“性别”、“阶级”或“教育背景”等属性的差异。"
