Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire
Author: Ismael García-ColónPublisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520325796
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire is the first in-depth look at the experiences of Puerto Rican migrant workers in continental U.S. agriculture in the twentieth century. The Farm Labor Program, established by the government of Puerto Rico in 1947, placed hundreds of thousands of migrant workers on U.S. farms and fostered the emergence of many stateside Puerto Rican communities. Ismael García-Colón investigates the origins and development of this program and uncovers the unique challenges faced by its participants. A labor history and an ethnography, Colonial Migrants evokes the violence, fieldwork, food, lodging, surveillance, and coercion that these workers experienced on farms and conveys their hopes and struggles to overcome poverty. Island farmworkers encountered a unique form of prejudice and racism arising from their dual status as both U.S. citizens and as “foreign others,” and their experiences were further shaped by evolving immigration policies. Despite these challenges, many Puerto Rican farmworkers ultimately chose to settle in rural U.S. communities, contributing to the production of food and the Latinization of the U.S. farm labor force.

Boricuas in the Magic City: Puerto Ricans in Miami
Author: Dr. Victor Vazquez-HernandezPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467106488
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
People from Puerto Rico have been traveling to Miami for more than a century. The island became a US territory in 1898, and islanders became US citizens in 1917; throughout the 20th century, Puerto Ricans have established communities across Miami-Dade County. They have come as farm workers, garment workers, bankers and investors, or as US service members. By the 1950s, the Puerto Rican community in Miami was strong and diverse. Boricuas in the Magic City: Puerto Ricans in Miami is a photographic voyage through Miami. Boricua is a term of endearment that Puerto Ricans call themselves that identifies them with the precolonial period when the native Tainos referred to the island as Boriken.

Book Description
The latest offering in the 38-volume translation of al-Tabari's ninth- century AD history of Islam. We join Abbasid Caliph al-Mansur after his victory over the Alids, as he founds Baghdad and finally dies in a very detailed manner. Then his son, al-Mahdi reigns quietly, building mosques and urging someone else to go fight the Manichaeans and Byzantines. Covers A.H. 146-169 (A.D. 763-786). Paper edition (unseen), $16.95. A unique study in several respects: as an extended history of Latinos in the Midwest, as a scholarly social history of farm-workers, and as an examination of the impact of changes in the work process on the daily lives and ethnicity of workers in an industry over a period of several decades. Draws on many unpublished archival sources as well as interviews with numerous midwestern Latino farmworkers. The paper edition is avialable (70420-8, $12.95).
