Reflections on a Puerto Rican Life: Benjy Lopez - A Picaresque Tale of Emigration and Return Book

Hailed as a "masterpiece" in Newsweek magazine by Yale art historian Robert Ferris Thompson, the life history of Benjy Lopez is now available in an expanded edition which includes Benjy Lopez's return and life in Puerto Rico as a successful businessman. This engaging autobiographical account is a pioneering vision exposing the half-truth that the typi­cal experience of the ordinary Puerto Rican, particularly of the Puerto Rican transposed to New York City, is exclusively defined by priva­tion, fear, prejudice, and culture shock.
