Review

"Though the presence of Puerto Ricans in the United States is longstanding, knowledge about them - their culture, history, socioeconomic status, and contributions - has been decidedly inadequate. Edna Acosta-Belen and Carlos E. Santiago change this status quo, presenting a nuanced portrait of both the community today and the trajectory of its development."--Jacket
