The book delves into the unique socio-economic challenges faced by impoverished Puerto Ricans in the mainland U.S., challenging broad generalizations that have dominated previous studies. It highlights the migration patterns of Puerto Ricans from Rustbelt cities back to the island or to other job markets, emphasizing the struggles of predominantly poor women left behind in segregated neighborhoods. Utilizing comprehensive data, the author presents a nuanced perspective rooted in Puerto Rican history, addressing the complex dynamics between island and mainland populations.
