Opis

From the late 1940s to the early 1960s, Puerto Rico was swept by a wave of modernization, transforming the island from a predominantly rural society to an unquestionably urban one. By examining a wide range of cultural texts, Concrete and Countryside offers an in-depth analysis of how Puerto Ricans responded to this transformative period.
