520    "'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"--|cProvided by publisher.
