title = "Schooling Puerto Rican Chicago",
abstract = "As the Puerto Rican population in Chicago grew from a mere 240 in 1940 to over 78,000 in 1970, the population began decades-long struggles to adjust to life in the city.¹ The movement of Puerto Rican migrants to Chicago sought to alleviate the economic and labor needs of both the island and the city. Along with the workers came their families with children, and local schools were not prepared to contend with the influx of the Puerto Rican population. This chapter situates the history of Puerto Rican education in Chicago across three decades in order to contextualize the schooling experiences",
