Diana R. Gordon

Village of Immigrants: Latinos in an Emerging America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Greenport, New York, a village on the North Fork of Long Island, has become an exemplar of a little-noted national trend - immigrants spreading beyond the big coastal cities, driving much of rural population growth nationally. In Village of Immigrants, Diana R. Gordon illustrates how small-town America has been revitalized by the arrival of these immigrants in Greenport, where she lives.
