Today a similar influx is once again transforming the city. More than one in three New Yorkers are now immigrants. From Ellis Island to JFK is the first in-depth study that compares these two huge social changes." "Nancy Foner offers a critical reassessment of the myths that have grown up around the earlier Jewish and Italian immigration - myths that deeply color how today's Asian, Latin American, and Caribbean arrivals are seen. Issue by issue, she reveals the often surprising realities of both immigrations." "Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary research, Foner, in a lively and entertaining style, opens a new chapter in the study of immigration - and in the story of the nation's gateway city."ImmigrantsNew York (State)New YorkHistoryNew York (N.Y.)Emigration and immigrationHistoryImmigrantsHistory.974.7/1/008691Foner Nancy1945-148771MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778283503321From Ellis Island to JFK512787UNINA
