Child Welfare: An Exploratory Study of the Post-Institutional Adjustment of Ten Puerto Rican Adolescents, Two Years After Their Discharge From Long-Term Placement at the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin, Staten Island, New York, 1966
Abstract
For many years, New York City has been the immigrant-receiving center for the United States. It has welcomed waves of Europeans seeking a better way of life. Eventually, the majority of these immigrants landing, in New York City dispersed to the four corners of the United States. However, at the end of and after World War II, the City began to experience not an immigration of aliens but a new group which consisted of American citizens from the island of Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican American citizenship, the nearness of the Island to the continental United States, and relatively cheap, and quick air transportation were all motivating factors in the influx. Large numbers of these Puerto Rican, migrants have remained in New York City.
