Summary: Great resource on Puerto Rican History in New York!
Comment: To most people, the migration of Puerto Ricans to mainland United States seems to be a fairly recent one. In fact, Puerto Ricans have been migrating to New York and other U.S. states since the end of the 19th century.
Divided chronologically and thematically, this collection of images document the Puerto Rican experience in New York. It includes photos as well as images of programs, ads, passports and other documents.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Latino and particularly Puerto Rican culture and history. Of particular importance would be to share this with the youth to show them the rich history that is rarely, if ever, taught in schools.
The most moving part of the book was the photos of the farm workers being transported in chartered flights. During the eight-hour flight they had to sit on beach chairs and once at their destination taken directly to the farm camps to work.
