XX, núm. 2, 2008, pp. 261-267 The City University of New York New York, Estados Unidos Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37712148020 How to cite Complete issue Scientific Information System More information about this article Network of Scientific Journals from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal Journal's homepage in redalyc.org Non-profit academic project, developed under the open access initiative The book ends with two pictures, taken in 2000, of the graves of Puerto Rican musicians Rafael Cortijo and Ismael Rivera. This is the crowning oddity of b o o k the book. Cortijo and Rivera were both island-born and their musical legacy is intimately tied to Puerto Rico’s musical tradition. Yes, they had an impact on the music that developed in Spanish Harlem, but it is a stretch to suggest that they are r e v i e w s part of Spanish Harlem’s legacy. It is not only peculiar that they would be featured in this book, but also that the author would choose to use pictures of their graves. The symbolism may have been unintended but it is hard to ignore. Are we to believe that Spanish Harlem’s legacy is at this point only documentary in nature? Is the cultural symbiosis of Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean traditions that took place in Spanish Harlem during the first half of the twentieth century over? I doubt Alava believed this.

  • The Story of the Association for the Help of Retarded Children, New York City 1948 - 1998
    AAND NOW LET'S BUILD A BETTER WORLD@: THE STORY OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE HELP OF RETARDED CHILDREN, NEW YORK CITY 1948 - 1998 DAVID GOODE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK DECEMBER, 1998 1 DEDICATION To Anne Kraus, a founding member of AHRC who passed away during the period of this writing. To Anne, to all the founding parents who have gone before her, and to those time has not yet claimed, I dedicate these pages. Through her life and those of the others, through what they achieved by extraordinary dedication to their children, let us all be reminded that we are but temporary residents here with a basic responsibility to help build a better world. 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to especially thank Shirley Berenstein and her assistant Dana Bilsky without whose cooperation this document would never have been completed. In addition, my gratitude to Gunnar Dybwad, former Executive Director of the National Association for Retarded Children and currently Director of the Samuel Gridley Howe Library on the grounds of the Fernald School in Boston, who provided access to his historical files and to those of Elizabeth Boggs. I would also like to acknowledge the role of Michael Goldfarb in helping to conceive this project, in considering and hiring me, and for the many hours of stimulating conversations that were a side-benefit of this writing. Finally my appreciation to all those who were interviewed, both formally and informally, and who contributed to my understanding of AHRC and of the parents' movement in the field of mental retardation. 3 "Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts.
