Puerto Rican Children: A Case Study of the Problems Involved in the Foster Home Placement of Ten Puerto Rican Children in Foster Homes of the Angel Guardian Home, Brooklyn, 1958
Abstract
The United States has been the gateway to new opportunities for countless millions of newcomers to our shores. The pattern of movement has been about the same for each immigrant wave. The first stop was New York City, where many remained. Then came the outward migration to the new Americans to the other parts of our state and nation.The pattern of much of the present Puerto Rican journey is a familiar one. What is unique in the situation of the Puerto Rican is the fact that he is not an immigrant. He is an American when he arrives here. For reasons of language and cultural background, how- ever, he is considered a "stranger" by many.
