Description: "Becoming New Yorkers looks at the experience of specific immigrant groups, with regard to education, jobs, and community life." "As immigrants move out of gateway cities and into the rest of the country, America will increasingly look like the multicultural society described in Becoming New Yorkers. This work paints a picture of the experience of second generation Americans as they adjust to American society and help to shape its future."--BOOK JACKET.
