These early arrival stories are first-hand testimonies and the predecessors of the Nuyorican literature that became part of the city's English and Hispanic literary movement in the past quarter-century. The book is published in both English and Spanish to reflect the bilingual-ness of the city and its inhabitants.Flores, Juan is the author of 'Divided Arrival Narratives of the Puerto Rican Migration 1920-1950' with ISBN 9781558763197 and ISBN 1558763198.
