The Puerto Rican Problem in Postwar New York City

Beschreibung

This book presents the first comprehensive examination of the campaign and narrative of the "Puerto Rican problem" in New York City from 1945 to 1960. It looks at how this campaign influenced the incorporation of Puerto Ricans to the US, the policies of the governments of Puerto Rico and New York, and the ways Puerto Ricans were perceived by Americans for decades.
