- Summary:
- ""A Tale of Two Cities" adds an important new case study and a focus on youth culture to the growing literature that acknowledges the full circuit of migratory experiences. It is one of the best and most empirically grounded of such works."--Donna R. Gabaccia, University of Minnesota
- "By using previously untapped sources of data--including oral history among barrio dwellers in Santo Domingo and migrants in New York City--this book goes well beyond previous works that focus only on demographics and socioeconomic issues. "A Tale of Two Cities" recreates the history of Dominican migration from the perspective of lower-class Dominicans--portraying the human face of Dominican migration while still keeping track of the big picture."--Ernesto Sagá s, Southern New Hampshire University
