Abstract

Industrialization has profoundly affected the culture patterns of the Puerto Rican pop, especially that of particular sub-groups. Not only has the Ur pop increased rapidly, but it has responded to industrialization by a change in function and internal composition. The Ur pop has become more differentiated in segments, classes, or socio-cultural groups, with upward mobility becoming a crucial goal. The effects of industrialization on the culture of the Ru pop have not been uniform. The culture of the small mountain farmer has responded differently to this impact from that of the sugar plantation or coffee hacienda. For instance, whereas among the mountain farmers considerable opportunity for mobility has developed, the coffee hacienda still exemplifies typically Hispanic patterns. In general, though, industrialization has set in motion new currents of political, social, economic and religious activity. H. Hertz.
