Though his English isn't up to her rude reply, he quickly realizes that good manners in Nueva York are quite different than in Puerto Rico! Juan Marcos is eager to continue his studies in the United States and rents a room from family friends living in El Barrio, or Spanish Harlem. Soon, he has a job wrapping packages at a department store that pays as much as he made teaching high school at home. As he interacts with the Puerto Rican community in New York, he witnesses the problems his compatriots encounter, including discrimination, inadequate housing, jobs and wages. Despite these problems, friendships and romances bloom and rivalries surface, leading to betrayal and even attempted murder! Originally published in 1951 as TroÌpico en Manhattan, it was the first novel to focus on the postwar influx of Puerto Ricans to New York. Cotto-Thorner's use of code-switching, or 'Spanglish,' reflects the characters' bicultural reality and makes the novel a forerunner of Nuyorican writing and contemporary Latino literature. This new bilingual edition contains a first-ever English translation by J. Bret Maney that artfully captures the style and spirit of the original Spanish. The novel's exploration of class, race and gender--while demonstrating the community's resilience and cultural pride--ensures its relevance today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Puerto Ricans $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Manhattan (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Puerto Ricans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083707 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 $a New York (State) $z Manhattan. $z Manhattan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01312688 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Maney, J.
