"Brown in the Windy City is is an essential read." 
—Time Out Chicago

"With astute attention to the parallel trajectories and overlapping nature of Mexican Americans' and Puerto Ricans' histories, Lilia Fernández paints a rich portrait of neighborhood life, moving beyond broad strokes and the white-black racial binary. Told with detail, substance, and nuance, Brown in the Windy City is an important story that is likely to become a foundational book." 
—Carmen Teresa Whalen, author of From Puerto Rico to Philadelphia: Puerto Rican Workers and Postwar Economies
