Summary "Social Problems in Porto Rico" by Fred K. Fleagle is a sociological publication written in the early 20th century. This work aims to explore and classify the social issues faced by the rural population of Puerto Rico, with a focus on presenting data that can aid classroom study and discussions. The text seeks to provide an analysis of various aspects of life on the island, highlighting the conditions and obstacles faced by its people, especially the jíbaro, the local rural laborer. At the start of the book, the author outlines the purpose of his study as both an evaluation of the social landscape in Puerto Rico and a basis for discussing rural sociology. Fleagle notes the significant disparity between the urban and rural populations, indicating that 80% of the islanders live in rural areas. The discussion introduces key demographic details from the 1910 census, highlighting racial distributions and the socio-economic dynamics at play. This initial portion emphasizes the challenges confronting the jíbaro and sets the tone for a more in-depth exploration of the social problems related to rural living, such as inadequate housing, the influence of agricultural practices, and the effects of overpopulation on community life.
