Dream Chaser

Ralph Rivera's Dream Chaser is so much more than a visual trip down memory lane. It is an accurate account of almost a centuries' worth of the early Puerto Rican diaspora during the 40s and 50s but seen thru the eyes of priviledge of a well-educated, entrepeneuring and ambitious "dreamer."

Intimate, personal and candid, this picture book gives an honest look at the cultural nuances that defined the later part of the 20th century, molded primarily by the entertainment industry and its social and economic impact throughout the whole of the modern world. Good natured and unpretentious, this peculiar glimpse at the adventures of a prosperous and successful Boricua not only entertains but also strives to inspire the emerging generation, shedding some light on the importance of education, conviction and hard work.
