Turning Tides: Piecing Together the Present will discuss the last 150 years of Puerto Rican history. The fourth and final episode, Accumulation by Dispossession, will cover the period from 1969 to Present, in which neoliberal economic policies influence the islanders' daily lives, and political corruption further exacerbates one of the worst natural disasters in modern Puerto Rican history.
