American cities are today more diverse than at any time in history.
The continuing flow of new immigrants has settled in urban and
suburban areas that have undergone visible change in population and
neighborhoods. While Chicago long served as the convenient and
well-studied model for urban sociology, for many Los Angeles has
become the focal point for study of the postmodern heteropolis. It
is interesting that for sociologists New York City, especially its
outer boroughs such as Brooklyn and Queens, has largely remained
outside the intense gaze of urban study. As the nation's largest
city New York has long had a mosaic of social worlds comparable to
that of Chicago, and displays an ethnic diversity comparable to
that of Los Angeles. Because New York City presents us with a less
easily recognizable mosaic and a more free form scattering of
ethnic social spaces, it is seldom thought of as a pre or
post-modern "model" for other metropolitan areas. The eight
articles presented in this volume represent both older and
established ethnic and racial communities as well as new and
emerging groups in New York City. These include Italian
communities, African American, as well as newer Jewish, Caribbean,
and Asian groups.
