Description
by Manuel Cabranes (Author), José a. Cabranes (Compiled by)
This memoir offers a fragmentary but vivid account of the early life and career of Manuel Cabranes, whom the New York Times described as "the ranking Puerto Rican official in New York City for nearly two decades." Born in 1904 in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, Manuel Cabranes was among the first generation of Puerto Ricans educated under the U.S. flag.
His recollections follow the path from a rural childhood in Puerto Rico, to studies at Fordham during the Great Depression while living and working at a settlement house in East Harlem, and onward to a pioneering career in social work and civic leadership in both Puerto Rico and New York. During his exceptional five decades in public service, Cabranes played a unique role as a bridge between island and mainland communities and bore witness to the emergence of modern Puerto Rican identity in the twentieth century.
