Nuyorican Meaning
“Nuyorican” is the term used to describe the people or culture of Puerto Ricans living in or around New York City. It can also be used in reference to Puerto Rican descendants, like Lynda. “Nuyoricans” is sometimes used for Puerto Ricans living outside the island of Puerto Rico, specifically in areas of New York State besides New York. “Nuyoricans” is also referred to by Islanders (Puerto Ricans born on the islands) in order to distinguish themselves from mainland Puerto Ricans.
Many Nuyoricans are second-and third-generation Puerto Rican Americans whose parents or grandparents arrived in the New York metropolitan area during the Gran Migración (Great Migration). Puerto Ricans began to arrive in New York City in the nineteenth century, but especially following the passage of the Jones-Shafroth Act on March 2, 1917, which granted U.S. Citizenship to virtually all Puerto Ricans. The Gran Migración accelerated migration from Puerto Rico to New York during the 1940s and 1950s, but such large-scale emigration began to slow by the late 1960s
