Description
Boricuas in Gotham: Puerto Ricans in the Making of New York City explores the complex history of Puerto Rican migration to New York City. Historian Gabriel Haslip-Viera, Angelo Falcón and Félix V. Matos Rodríguez examine how the experiences of Puerto Ricans in Gotham reflect broader patterns of colonialism and imperialism. The authors group colonies into distinct categories, highlighting differences in their economic management, administration and outcomes as they gained independence. This nuanced approach sheds light on the unique features of each type of colony and the distinctive characteristics of the Puerto Rican experience in New York City. By examining the history of Puerto Ricans in Gotham, this book provides a new perspective on the complexities of colonialism and its ongoing impact on contemporary society.
