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."  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2008.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aImmigrantszNew York (State)zNew YorkxHistory. 0aNew York (N.Y.)xEmigration and immigrationxHistory. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10190742zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c147701d147701
