Synopsis
Though their presence in the United States is long standing, knowledge about Puerto Ricans their culture, history, socioeconomic status, and contributions has been decidedly inadequate. Edna Acosta-Belén and Carlos Santiago change this status quo, presenting a nuanced portrait of both the community today and the trajectory of its development.
The authors move deftly from Puerto Rico s colonial experience, through a series of waves of migration, to the emergence of the commuter patterns seen today. Not least, they draw on extensive data to dispel widespread myths and stereotypes. Their work is a long overdue corrective to conventional wisdom about the role of the Puerto Rican community within US society.

Review
An excellent panoramic view of Puerto Ricans in the United States.... Puerto Ricans in the United States: A Contemporary Portrait will become the reader on Puerto Rican Studies and a prominent complement to the ethnic studies literature, and well it should. --Carlos Vargas-Ramos, Contemporary Sociology
Arguably the deans of Puerto Rican studies, Acosta-Belèn and Santiago provide a comprehensive, contemporary portrait of the nearly 8 million Puerto Ricans almost evenly divided between the island itself and across the US mainland and Hawai i.... A valuable reference work and ... an accessible one-volume introduction to US Puerto Ricans.... Essential. --Choice
