Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996, All the Nations Under Heaven has earned praise and a wide readership for its unparalleled chronicle of the role of immigrants and migrants in shaping the history and culture of New York City. This updated edition of a classic text brings the story of the immigrant experience in New York City up to the present with vital new material on the city’s revival as a global metropolis with deeply rooted racial and economic inequalities. All the Nations Under Heaven explores New York City’s history through the stories of people who moved there from countless places of origin and indelibly marked its hybrid popular culture, its contentious ethnic politics, and its relentlessly dynamic economy. From Dutch settlement to the extraordinary diversity of today’s immigrants, the book chronicles successive waves of Irish, German, Jewish, and Italian immigrants and African American and Puerto Rican migrants, showing how immigration changes immigrants and immigrants change the city. In a compelling narrative synthesis, All the Nations Under Heaven considers the ongoing tensions between inclusion and exclusion, the pursuit of justice and the reality of inequality, and the evolving significance of race and ethnicity. In an era when immigration, inequality, and globalization are bitterly debated, this revised edition is a timely portrait of New York City through the lenses of migration and immigration.

Book excerpt: New York City has been the home of African Americans for four centuries. Blacks were among the founding fathers and mothers of pioneer colonial settlements in the future boroughs, and they have remained integral players in the teeming daily drama of the city. The Black New Yorkers: The Schomburg Illustrated Chronology recreates this unique relationship between a people and a city, and through it chronicles the worldwide African American struggle for freedom and human dignity. This richly produced volume offers a monumental assembly of powerful images and engrossing text that narrates the African American odyssey from colonial times to the present day.

In highly detailed, year-by-year entries, you’ll gain insights into familiar events and discover lesser-known but important other facts about these topics and more: Politics: from the laws that whittled away black freedoms in colonial times to the civil rights victories of our own day; from the Tenderloin race riot and the Pan-African Congress to the Million Youth March; from Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth to Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. Business and Labor: from free fur-traders and enslaved workers who built houses, roads, and bridges; to the rise of small businesses and the real estate boom in Harlem; to the ascent of entrepreneurs and corporate titans such as Ed Lewis, Earl G. Graves, and Kenneth I. Chenault. The Arts: from nineteenth-century Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge and celebrated soprano Sissieretta Jones to Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston of the Harlem Renaissance; as well as Paul Robeson, Lena Horne, Alvin Ailey, Spike Lee, and LL Cool J. Sports: from great jockey Isaac Murphy, cycling champ Marshall "Major" Taylor, and baseball legend John Henry "Pops" Lloyd—said to be the greatest player ever—to tennis star Althea Gibson, Jackie Robinson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Resonant with tales of trial, courage, and triumph, vibrant with portraits of both famous and humble history-makers, The Black New Yorkers is a sweeping, powerful record of the richly diverse heritage of African Americans in the capital of black America. It is a perfect reference for the serious student of history and a browser’s delight for every reader interested in the black experience.

Book excerpt: The Oklahoma City bombing, intentional crashing of airliners on September 11, 2001, and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001 have made Americans acutely aware of the impacts of terrorism.
