Summary

Alana Casanova-Burgess traza la historia del crecimiento y eventual deterioro de Levittown, Toa Baja, un suburbio masivo que se fundó con la idea de traer el estilo de vida de la clase media estadounidense a Puerto Rico durante una época de gran transformación en la isla. Casanova-Burgess explora lo que el proyecto nos dice sobre nuestra historia y las promesas de vivir “el sueño americano” en Puerto Rico. Photos y archivos sobre el Levittown boricua se encuentran aqui. Cezanne Cardona Morales' collection of short stories is called Levittown, Mon Amour. Hilda y Paula, quien compartieron sus experiencias en este episodio, también hablaron sobre Levittown en un episodio de "Nuestro Podcast." La entrevista de WNYC con Dona Fela, la alcaldesa de San Juan, se encuentra aquí. Y el audio del primer vuelo de Eastern Airlines de 1951 está aquí. Para leer más sobre este tema, recomendamos Concrete and Countryside: The Urban and the Rural in 1950s Puerto Rican Culture, escrito por Carmelo Esterrich.
