Mele?ndez sheds an important new light on the many ways in which the government intervened in the movement of its people: attempting to provide labor to U.S. agriculture, incorporating migrants into places like New York City, seeking to expand the island's air transportation infrastructure, and even promoting migration in the public school system. One of the first scholars to explore this topic in depth, Mele?ndez illuminates how migration influenced U.S. and Puerto Rican relations from 1898 onward. 410 0$aGlobal Latin/o Americas. 606 $aMigrant labor$zUnited States 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zUnited States$xPolitics and government 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zUnited States$xMigrations 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1933-1953 607 $aPuerto Rico$xPolitics and government$y1952-1998 607 $aPuerto Rico$xPolitics and government$y1898-1952 607 $aPuerto Rico$xColonial influence 615 0$aMigrant labor 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xMigrations. 676 $a305.868/7295073 700 $aMele?ndez$b Edgardo$0983876 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910269346003321 996 $aSponsored Migration$92246286 997 $aUNINA
