?The ongoing surge of academic interest in minority literatures makes Mohr's endeavor particularly timely. Specific attention continues to be drawn to the New York Puerto Rican (Nuyorican) and Mohr's practical criticism and subsequent exposure of this literature will make readers better equipped to study and research Puerto Rican literature written on this continent and in English. ...this book is a welcome contribution to the Puerto Rican experience and will serve well as an introduction to this particular minority literature.?-Literature Today
