By: Falcon, Angelo.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this study Falcon presents a survey of the early political history of the Puerto Rican community in New York City during five major historical periods: the pre-1898 period; 1898 to World War I; the 1920s; the depression years; and the 1940s. Throughout this work the author depicts a very politicized Puerto Rican community, exhibiting a broad-based organizational life. Issues of particular importance during the historical periods described above were many and varied, ranging from the political situation in Puerto Rico, to local New York City politics, the Spanish Civil War, and U.S. imperialism in Latin America. These issues, as well as other closely allied social problems, are discussed briefly.
