Villa Sin Miedo in The Book Puerto Rico Mio: Four Decades of Change Photographs By Jack Delano
In the book Puerto Rico Mio are two photographs of Villa Miedo from 1982. The caption on the first photograph reads "1982 - Villa Sin Miedo, an illegal community of homeless squatters, near Carolina; a few days after this picture was taken the people were ejected by the police and the houses burned." The caption on the second photograph (pg 143) there is a picture of a resident of Villa Sin Miedo inside of a room of a house. The caption reads "1982 - One of the squatters in the community known as Villa Sin Miedo near Carolina."
In the first photo can be seen around twenty five wooden houses. They are arranged around a central dirt road that appears from the left side of the image and unfolds up towards a hill that reaches the horizon and meets a distant mountain scape. You can count six motor vehicles and a couple handfuls of people.
In the second photo a resident is seated on a bed inside a small room. A Puerto Rican flag covers half of the wall to his back.
