Part of our Department’s mission has been to document, celebrate, and support the experiences and struggles of Puerto Ricans and Latinos in New York. These articles and blogs are the product of our faculty, students, and other scholars and activists working in New York. Some of these essays are part of Professor Lauria Santiago’s research on Puerto Ricans in New York in the 20th century, including an online book, an advance on his forthcoming books on New York City. The essays by Natalie Saldarriaga, a former Rutgers student, provide detailed research into Puerto Rican migration and political movements in New York.
