Review
"Wrap a subway map around this academic book and you have one of the most useful and up-to-date guides to New York City in years.... As editor of this volume, Nancy Foner deserves credit for keeping her writers true to their assignments." -- The New York Times Book Review (of the first ed.)
"[T]he volume consists of uniformly outstanding studies of Russians, Chinese, Koreans, Jamaicans, West Africans, Dominicans and Mexicans... [R]ichly detailed and highly informative accounts of how immigrants are transforming New York and how the city is transforming them, in turn." -- Robert L. Boyd, Urban Studies
"Overall this book makes a valuable contribution in showing not only how the new immigrants are faring in their encounter with New York City, but how the city itself is changing from the same encounter." -- American Anthropologist (of the first ed.)
"An outstanding collection... A rich ethnic feast in a single volume." -- The Times of the Americas (of the first ed.)
"In times of increasing racial tension, research that interprets changing patterns of racial and ethnic relations in the city of New York is certainly a welcome addition to the literature." -- American Journal of Sociology (of the first ed.)
" New Immigrants in New York is an excellent collection of essays on New York City's changing immigrants." -- David M. Reimers, Journal of American Ethnic History
