Description
New York has been a magnet for immigrants for nearly four centuries, attracting people from all over the globe. This sweeping history tells the story of the city's immigrants, from its early days to the present, and explores the lives of innovators, artists, revolutionaries, and rioters who have shaped the city's identity. Over ten years in the making, Tyler Anbinder's account is one of staggering deprivation and soaring triumphs, featuring both famous and forgotten figures. The book sheds new light on the experiences of millions of immigrants who have come to the city, and their stories have never been told with such breadth of scope and lavish research. A richly textured guide to the history of New York's immigrant nation, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the city's complex and fascinating past.
