Description: "Based on examination of housing patterns in San Juan and demographic data from four of its 19th-century barrios, work provides a much-needed exploration of racial prejudice in Puerto Rico. Challenges commonplace denial of racial discrimination up to the present by showing that free people of color had limited economic, social, and political opportunities to advance their status"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
