Enclave
Laviera celebrates the Puerto Rican experience in New York, providing a gallery of portraits of the indomitable inhabitants of the enclave, whose lives are evoked through soulful rhythmic songs.
"Enclave serves as a very timely manifestation of the modern Hispanic. It would probably be a very appropriate text in a high school or college Puerto Rican Studies or Chicano studies class." (Lector.)
