Immigrants in Queens hail from more than 120 countries and speak more than 135 languages. As an epicenter of immigrant diversity, Queens is an urban gateway that exemplifies opportunities and challenges in shaping a multi-racial democracy. The editors and contributors to Immigrant Crossroads examine the social, spatial, economic, and political dynamics that stem from this fast-growing urbanization. The interdisciplinary chapters examine residential patterns and neighborhood identities, immigrant incorporation and mobilizations, and community building and activism. Essays combine qualitative and quantitative research methods to address globalization and the unprecedented racial and ethnic diversity as a result of international migration. Chapters on incorporation focus on immigrant participation and representation in electoral politics, and advocacy for immigrant inclusion in urban governance and service provision. A section of Immigrant Crossroads concerns placemaking, focusing on the production of neighborhood spaces and identities as well as immigrant activism and community development and control. Based on engaged and robust analysis, Immigrant Crossroads highlights the dynamics of this urban gateway.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 28mmContributor: Michael Alan Krasner (Edited by), Tarry Hum (Edited by), Ron Hayduk (Edited by), Francois Pierre-Louis Jr. (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: Michael Alan KrasnerRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
