?This collection of essays focuses on the growing participation of
Puerto Ricans in electoral politics. Although some historical
background is provided, much of the book contains useful and
interesting descriptive material on recent Puerto Rican politics in
New York, with briefer accounts of Boston and Chicago. A major
theme running through many of the essays is the shift in political
attention, on the part of politically active Puerto Ricans in
northern cities, from events in Puerto Rico to politics and
government in their stateside cities. ... In short, this is a
useful addition to collections on minority politics in urban areas,
and would be especially appropriate for upper-level students who
already have some knowledge of Puerto Rican politics. Others should
turn to the excellent bibliographic essay by Angelo Falcon that
concludes the volume to find out where to get the larger historical
and socioeconomic background.?-Choice
