How have immigrants shaped our country today? In a groundbreaking new book, “One Quarter of the Nation: Immigration and the Transformation of America”, sociologist Nancy Foner documents the impacts of immigration in the last half-century, from the economy and politics, in cities and rural areas, and on formative ideas about race and culture.
Join us on YouTube Live for a live-streamed Tenement Talk with Nancy Foner from the Museum’s 20th Century tenement apartment! She’ll be joined by Suketu Mehta, writer, journalist, and Professor at New York University, for a conversation on how immigrants, as one-quarter of the nation, continue to redefine American society.
