This new and very important collection of essays reinterprets and
updates the history of New York's Puerto Rican community and its
leaders from the beginnings of the great migration in the 1940s to
the present time. The collection also honors the memory of the late
Dr. Antonia Pantoja, who was perhaps the community's most important
and influential activist and institution builder during this
period. The book is organized in chronological order and includes
chapters by noted historians, sociologists, and political
scientists, such as Virginia Sanchez Korrol, Ana Celia Zentella,
Jose Cruz, Francisco Rivera Batiz, and Gabriel Haslip-Viera. These
chapters focus on issues of culture, demography, language, economic
status, politics, and community organization. Eminently useful in
college-level courses that deal with Latinos and other ethnic
groups in U.S. society, the book ends with essays by Angelo Falcon
and Clara E. Rodriguez that assess the legacy, current status, and
future prospects of the Puerto Rican community in New York.
