Updated to reflect changes in the composition of New York City's immigrant population, this volume brings together contributions from leaders in their respective fields to show how new immigrants are transforming the city - and how New York, in turn, has affected the newcomers' lives. The contributors consider the four largest groups - Dominicans, former Soviets, Chinese and Jamaicans - as well as Mexicans, Koreans, and West Africans.
