The Puerto Rican Movement: Voices from the Diaspora (Puerto Rican Studies)

Little attention has been paid to the Latino movements of 1960's and 1970's in the literature of social movements. This book looks at the organizations of the Puerto Rican movement, which emerged in the late 1960's and 1970's as a response to US colonialism on the island and to the poverty and discrimination faced by Puerto Ricans on the mainland.
