...depth of commitment involved in the civil rights struggle. I wish too that they had placed more emphasis on the forces behind the rise of Negro extremism and the effect of permanent poverty, on the Negro's response to the compound problem of discrimination and unemployment. Two other omissions mar the book, the failure to adequately discuss the difference between the Puerto Rican's experience and that of earlier immigrant groups, and the neglect of the Catholic attitude toward birth control that limits the effectiveness of welfare programs...
