Spanish Harlem
Since it was first settled by the Dutch in the 1600’s, New York City has been considered largely a city of immigrants, and the immigrant experience in the city is one marked by poverty and despair. ...

For these reasons I chose write about this next group of immigrants who came to New York City in large numbers, the Puerto Ricans, and the settlement they carved out for themselves in the section of New York City called East Harlem, which covers the northeastern tip of Manhattan Island.
At a glance, East Harlem, also commonly known as Spanish Harlem or “El Barrio” (the neighborhood), is not unique. ... What people do not understand, what they cannot ever fully understand is the odd paradox that distinguishes Spanish Harlem from any other immigrant slum New York has ever seen.
