Within the last two decades a great influx of Puerto Ricans has centered at various led within New York City. Largest of these areas has been that of East Harlem, Manhattan. Extensive study by social scientists, social workers, and other researchers has been directed towards understanding general problems of adjustment inherent in this migration.
