CHOICE Review
In recent years, research on Puerto Ricans, both on the island and in the US, has become quite sophisticated. Ortiz (City Univ. of New York) clearly demonstrates that continuing scholarly achievement in this collection. Puerto Ricans are, technically, migrants not immigrants, but their mainland experience has been bleak. These essays tell "the story of women workers whose lives have been deeply affected by a colonial system of government and whose labor has been exploited throughout the twentieth century by an expanding capitalist industrial economy." Each essay addresses a salient issue in the work experience of Puerto Rican women on the mainland and the island. Included are examinations of the work of needlewomen in Puerto Rico, 1920-1945; Puerto Rican women in the New York City garment industry, 1920-1980; the impact of job losses on Puerto Rican women in the Middle Atlantic region, 1970-1980; the balancing of work and domestic demands in Puerto Rico; gender and politics among Puerto Rican women in a health struggle; gender, work and welfare among Puerto Rican women in New York City; and women clerical workers in Puerto Rico. There is also a fine but incongruous study on bilingual education and the experience of Puerto Rican women teachers in New York City, 1947-1967. Footnotes document each of the essays. Upper-division undergraduates and above. F. Cordasco emeritus, Montclair State UniversityNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
