Rather than focusing on a single ethnic group, Ernst reconstructs the entire ecosystem of immigrant life--their neighborhoods, institutions, politics, work, and daily struggles--showing how foreign-born New Yorkers became a defining force in the city's identity.The book weaves together demographic data, archival sources, and firsthand accounts to create a rich, detailed portrait of a city in the midst of rapid transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Ernst\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of history emeritus at Adelphi University.
