LOPEZ, Alejo. New York as Carribean Enclave: Extraterritoriality and Caribeanization in Nuyorican Literature. CELEHIS [online]. 2019, n.37, pp.1-5. ISSN 2313-9463.

The relationship between New York city and the Caribbean culture has a profuse history recently increased by the incessant diasporas that, since the twentieth century have been transforming their contours through a continuous and thriving demographic-cultural process of gradual caribbenization. Within this process stands out the Puerto Rican Diaspora and the Nuyorican Culture that emerged from it, whose literary tradition constitutes a clear example of the significance and richness of these extraterritorial phenomena.
