In recent decades, the American suburbs have become an important
site for immigrant settlement. Beyond the City and the Bridge
presents a case study of Fort Lee, Bergen County, on the west side
of the George Washington Bridge connecting Manhattan and New
Jersey. Since the 1970s, successive waves of immigrants from East
Asia have transformed this formerly white community into one of the
most diverse suburbs in the greater New York region. Fort Lee today
has one of the largest concentrations of East Asians of any suburb
on the East Coast, with Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans forming
distinct communities while influencing the structure and everyday
life of the borough. Noriko Matsumoto explores the rise of this
multiethnic suburb-the complex processes of assimilation and
reproduction of ethnicities, the changing social relationships, and
the conditions under which such transformations have occurred.
