  By the end of the 1920s, more than 45,000 native Puerto Ricans had left their homes and entered the United States, citizenship papers in hand, forming one of New York City's most complex and unique migrant communities. This work unravels the many tensions that defined the experience of this group of American citizens before and after World War II.
