Between Melting Pot and Mosaic African Americans and Puerto Ricans in the New York Political Economy

"This stimulating new book is an attempt both to understand the economic and demographic shifts that have transformed the fabric of ethnic life in New York in the years since World War II and to develop a progressive strategy for policies that would respond to those changes. ...Any scholar has to be commended for tackling the story of America's largest, and incredibly complex, city, and Torres carries the job off remarkably well.....Torres knows his city and pushes the insights of his theoretical perspective as far as they can go. For these reasons, readers interested in New York City--and which student of American ethnic groups is not?--will want this book on their shelves."Torres, Andrés is the author of 'Between Melting Pot and Mosaic African Americans and Puerto Ricans in the New York Political Economy' with ISBN 9781566392808 and ISBN 1566392802.
