Becoming New Yorkers Ethnographies of the New Second Generation

BECOMING NEW YORKERS "Becoming New Yorkers reveals the multi-faceted lives of the second generation and the truth about the fluidity of identity. Indeed, becoming a New Yorker is a quintessential American experience that resonates astonishingly well with those of immigrant parentage who grow up in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Houston, and elsewhere in the United States." -MIN ZHOU, professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles "Understanding how new New Yorkers become New Yorkers has been a complex matter for social scientists since the publication of the seminal Beyond the Melting Pot. Succeeding waves of immigrants have faced the challenges of accommodating to a new culture and language, while utilizing social mediators such as public education systems and political and social organizations. The results are as varied as the individual stories of immigrants themselves. The ethnographies detailed in Becoming New Yorkers offer a rich guide to linguistic, social, and economic adaptation by the foreign-born and second-generation children of immigrants in New York City." --FERNANDO FERRER, former Bronx Borough President, New York City
