EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PUERTO RICO: WORKERS, 1941" takes us back in time to a sugar cane plantation in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The image, captured by the talented photographer Jack Delano in December 1941, showcases a group of hardworking men who were part of the working class during this era. The photograph transports us to the rural landscape where these unidentified workers are seen laboring under the scorching Caribbean sun. Each man wears a hat to shield themselves from its relentless rays as they toil away amidst rows upon rows of towering sugar cane plants. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an important chapter in Puerto Rican history when agriculture played a vital role in shaping the island's economy. It also serves as a reminder of the migrant workers who traveled great distances seeking employment opportunities on these plantations. Jack Delano's lens captures not only their physical exertion but also their resilience and determination. This image is symbolic of an era marked by economic challenges and social change, with references to both Latin America and New Deal policies that aimed at revitalizing American society during that time. As we admire this powerful photograph, let it serve as a tribute to those whose tireless efforts contributed significantly to Puerto Rico's rich cultural heritage.
