Pioneros II: Puerto Ricans in New York City, 1948-1998: Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)

Autor Virginia Sanchez Korrol, Pedro Juan Hernandez
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2010
Following World War II, Puerto Ricans moved to New York in record numbers and joined a community of compatriots who had emigrated decades before or were born in diaspora. In a series of vivid images, Pioneros II: Puerto Ricans in New York City 1948 1998 brings to life their stories and struggles, culture and values, entrepreneurship, and civic, political, and educational gains. The Puerto Rican community s long history and achievements opened pathways for the city s newer Latino immigrant communities.
La primera gran oleada migratoria aerea del siglo XX a Nueva York fue la de cientos de miles de puertorriquenos que llegaron despues de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estos se unian a una nutrida comunidad de compatriotas que habian emigrado a principios del siglo pasado y a los nacidos en la diaspora. Pioneros II recrea visualmente sus historias y luchas durante estos anos de crecimiento; su trabajo, cultura y valores; esfuerzos empresariales y organizativos; la valia de su ciudadania, y los reclamos por sus derechos civiles, educativos y politicos. Con sus muchos anos de historia y sus logros, la comunidad puertorriquena allana el camino para las comunidades latinas recien llegadas."
