This article discusses Puerto Rican migration within the broader context of Caribbean migration to the USA. The first part discusses the theoretical framework. The labour market incorporation of migrants is conceptualised as a result of the sociopolitical modes of incorporation which among other dimensions include the US foreign policy/geo‐politics in the region; public opinion/perception of the migrants within the host society; the presence or absence of a migrant community as well as the class/racial composition of the migrants and the the sending country's core‐periphery relationships. The historical origins of Caribbean migration to the USA are examined next, whereupon the article moves on to discuss the class origin of the post‐1960s Caribbean migrants. Modes of incorporation to the host society are then explored, as is the foundational myth that forms part of US narratives about the nation and the way this affected the mode of incorporation for Puerto Ricans. Finally, the article discusses the challenges which the identification strategies adopted by Puerto Ricans pose to traditional conceptualisations of identity. In sum, this article portrays the multiple complex dimensions that determine the Puerto Rican migrants’ particular mode of incorporation in the host society
