Summary
This title examines the migration and settlement of mexicans and Puerto Ricans in the postwar era. Here, Lilia Fernández reveals how the two populations arrived in Chicago in the midst of tremendous social and economic change, and, in the midst of declining industrial employment and massive urban renewal projects, managed to carve out a geographic and racial place in one of America's great cities.
