Description
Global Queens: An Urban Mosaic by Joseph Heathcott is a vibrant exploration of one of the most diverse places in the world. Through over 200 contemporary photographs, Heathcott captures the multifaceted borough of Queens, New York, where social mixing and encounters across multiple lines of difference are on full display. Heathcott's photographs convey the juxtaposition of the ordinary and the extraordinary, the mundane and the surprising, as he documents the staggering social diversity that defines Queens. The book delves into two entwined histories: the rapid expansion of the borough's built environment through the twentieth century, and the millions of people who have traveled from near and far to call Queens home. The resulting narrative is a powerful portrayal of everyday life in one of America's most enigmatic boroughs, where newcomers have had to confront challenges such as discrimination, language barriers, and limited access to housing and employment.
