Description
“Told brilliantly, even unforgettably … An American story, one that belongs to all of us.” — Boston Globe
“A richly textured guide to the history of our immigrant nation’s pinnacle immigrant city has managed to go into the stage all over an election season that has resurrected this historically fraught topic in all its fierceness.” — New York Times Book Review
New York has been The united states’s city of immigrants for just about four centuries. Growing from Peter Minuit’s tiny settlement of 1626 to a clamorous metropolis with more than three million immigrants today, the city has all the time been a magnet for transplants from in every single place the globe. City of Dreams is the long-overdue, inspiring, and defining account of New York’s immigrants, both famous and forgotten: the young man from the Caribbean who relocated to New York and became a founding father; Russian-born Emma Goldman, who condoned the murder of American industrialists as a means of aiding downtrodden workers; Dominican immigrant Oscar de la Renta, who dressed first ladies from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama. Over ten years in the making, Tyler Anbinder’s story is one of innovators and artists, revolutionaries and rioters, staggering deprivation and soaring triumphs. In such a lot of ways, today’s immigrants are similar to those who came to The united states in centuries past—and their stories have never before been told with such breadth of scope, lavish research, and resounding spirit.
“A masterful achievement, City of Dreams is the definitive account of the American origin story, as told through our premier metropolis. Bold, exhaustive, all the time surprising, Anbinder’s book is a superb reminder of how we came to be who we are.” — Timothy Egan, best-selling creator of The Immortal Irishman
