Abstract
Profound historical and political changes have conspired to impact the psychological outlook of the Puerto Rican population since early Spanish Colonial times. These cultural changes reveal themselves in the literary output of native authors. Several short stories written by Melendez Munoz, Diaz Alfaro, Gonzalez, and Carrero depict problems in education during the decades of the forties and the sixties. For those in the teaching profession, this was an era of great agitation resulting from governmentally mandated alternation of English and Spanish languages. These short stories manifest a despair and disillusionment attesting to the need for language stabilization within a political entity regardless of cultural allegiance.
