Abstract:
The Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area became the fastest growing Puerto Rican population since 1980. While the literature has grown regarding Orlando's Puerto Rican community, no works deeply analyze the push and pull factors that led to the mass migration of Puerto Ricans to Central Florida. In fact, it was the combination of deteriorating economies in both Puerto Rico and New York City (the two largest concentrations of Puerto Ricans in the United States) and the rise of employment opportunities and cheap cost of living in Central Florida that attract Puerto Ricans from the island the

Abstract:
Puerto Rican people and culture are the result of the often violent contact between the colonizing forces of Spain, the African people they later enslaved and the indigenous population of the island. Over time, the blending of these three diverse peoples, each with their own unique culture and traditions, resulted in a new population currently known as Puerto Rican. Little information is available, however, regarding Taino culture and society prior to European contact, and even less is known about their ongoing contributions to Puerto Rican culture.

As Raphael Delgado returns to his childhood neighborhood to visit his dying mother, he is confronted by memories of a horrific car accident which killed his friends, and the role he played in the driver's murder. Abandoned by his Puerto Rican father, he is raised in a Puerto Rican neighborhood by his Caucasian mother. As he relives the past through retelling the story, Raphael not only seeks to understand that part of his identity which was left void by the absence of his father, but he seeks to find acceptance for his actions, and come to terms with who he is as well.
