This notion originated in an intense public campaign that arose in reaction to the entry of Puerto Rican migrants to the city after 1945. The \"problem\" narrative influenced their incorporation in New York City and other regions of the United States where they settled. The anti-Puerto Rican campaign led to the formulation of public policies by the governments of Puerto Rico and New York City seeking to ease their incorporation in the city. Notions intrinsic to this narrative later entered American academia (like the \"culture of poverty\") and American popular culture (e.g., \u003ci\u003eWest Side Story\u003c\/i\u003e), which reproduced many of the stereotypes associated with Puerto Ricans at that time and shaped the way in which Puerto Ricans were studied and perceived by Americans. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgardo Mel駭dez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978831471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978831476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Edgardo Mel駭dez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069251776767,"sku":"9781978831476","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ade3ef0a-73ea-480a-9f3c-4af30697c06c.jpg?v=1685423690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-puerto-rican-problem-in-edgardo-melndez-9781978831476","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
