| Publisher Description: 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 these immigrants' stories and struggles, culture and values, entrepreneurship, and civic, political, and educational gains. The Puerto Rican community's long history and achievements not only influenced American culture, but opened pathways for the New York's other Latino immigrant communities that would soon join them. La primera gran oleada migratoria a rea del siglo XX a Nueva York fue la de cientos de miles de puertorrique os que llegaron despu s de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. stos se un an a una nutrida comunidad de compatriotas que hab an emigrado a principios del siglo pasado y a los nacidos en la di spora. Pioneros II recrea visualmente sus historias y luchas durante estos a os de crecimiento; su trabajo, cultura y valores; esfuerzos empresariales y organizativos; la val a de su ciudadan a, y los reclamos por sus derechos civiles, educativos y pol ticos. Con sus muchos a os de historia y sus logros, la comunidad puertorrique a allana el camino para las comunidades latinas reci n llegadas. |
