From Colonia to Community Virginia Sanchez Korrol
I am not going to say this is a book that I remember as
loving.
However, I will say this, this is a book that if you are
writing a Sociology Thesis or Paper on Hispanic Culture that you may want to
quote from.
And, a shout out is this, Virginia Sanchez Korrol is a
scholar. She is the “Puerto Rican” go to
person.
Remember this or rather know this, in the big cities, is it
authors like this that made the effort to retrace our heritage.
The book has stats, it has charts, it has the things you
need to provide a good idea of life way back when in the Hispanic
Community.
My take away is that is shows how far we have changed. The Puerto Rican culture has been assimilated
or rather, we have become white.
Now, you need an appointment, at least two weeks in advance,
to visit family. No more of the drop in
anytime, we will help no matter what.
Nope. No more a pot of rice
always on the stove for visitors, Nope.
The extended family does not exist nowadays. Rather, the home is just for me and my kids,
stay away you boarders.
Hope this helps in terms of advancing your knowledge
base.
