Description

"Though Virginia Korrol grew up in the Puerto Rican community in New York City, and though she makes effective use of interviews, this is not a reminiscence of the recent past, but a clearly written study presented in a scientific manner.

It focuses on the patterns of community development in Puerto Rican sections of New York.

These patterns were influenced by the perpetuation of Puerto Rican customs and traditions, the growth of a business and professional class and, of particular importance, the retention of the Spanish language in the home and in the community.

The role of Puerto Rican women in the community and the changes imposed upon them by a new life in the United States is the subject of special emphasis."-New York History
