Abstract
This work is a social history of the post-World War II Puerto Rican community in New York City, where the largest concentration of Puerto Ricans in the continental United States is located. This study examines the social context of the mainland, and the results of Puerto Ricans' interactions within these contexts. Chapter one describes the Puerto Rican migration from a historical perspective. The second chapter presents a portrait of the community as a whole and examines the conditions under which the data for this study were gathered. Subsequent chapters deal with race, education, housing, economic structure, and the media in terms of how they affect and are affected by the Puerto Rican community (p. xv), as for example in the detailed case study analysis presented in the text of the impact of a popular folk-rock group called Menudo.
