“Walking underground” for the first time in his life, Juan Marcos Villalobos, a freshly arrived migrant to New York City, offers his seat to a woman standing on the subway. Though his English isn’t up to her rude reply, he quickly realizes that good manners in Nueva York are quite different than in Puerto Rico! Juan Marcos is eager to continue his studies in the United States and rents a room from family friends living in El Barrio, or Spanish Harlem. Soon, he has a job wrapping packages at a department store that pays as much as he made teaching high school at home. As he interacts with the Puerto Rican community in New York, he witnesses the problems his compatriots encounter, including discrimination, inadequate housing, jobs and wages. Despite these problems, friendships and romances bloom and rivalries surface, leading to betrayal and even attempted murder! Originally published in 1951 as Trópico en Manhattan, it was the first novel to focus on the postwar influx of Puerto Ricans to New York. Cotto-Thorner’s use of code-switching, or “Spanglish,” reflects the characters’ bicultural reality and makes the novel a forerunner of Nuyorican writing and contemporary Latino literature. This new bilingual edition contains a first-ever English translation by J. Bret Maney that artfully captures the style and spirit of the original Spanish. The novel’s exploration of class, race and gender—while demonstrating the community’s resilience and cultural pride—ensures its relevance today.

David P. Young "All a we a one: a Caribbean scrapbook" is the great love for the Caribbean shines through these pages, as author and photographer David Young tries to depict the real Caribbean. The people are wonderful. The variety is endless. And in that variety I have encountered more expressions of human dignity and worth than I ever imagined were possible, he writes. Identity and unity, thoughts and dreams, people, words and music, religious plurality, economic realities, historical roots and future choices. These he depicts in scraps of folktales and speeches, poetry and song, statistics and impressions. His collection of words and photographs portrays many facets of life in the islands as well as the mainland countries of the Caribbean. With Dave Young's eyes, we see and know our neighbors better.
