Summary:

According to the 1990 census, New York, for the first time in a century, had more foreign-born inhabitants than native-born residents. In this majestic illustrated history, with over 500 prints, paintings, and photographs, readers see the arrival of the first wave of Dutch and Anglo-Saxon settlers up through the Caribbeans, Latinos, Africans, and Asians that have become the dominant new New Yorkers.
