A defining American story of millions of immigrants, hundreds of languages, and one great city New York has been Americas city of immigrants for nearly four centuries. Growing from Peter Minuits tiny settlement of 1626 to one with more than three million immigrants today, the city has always been a magnet for transplants from all over the globe. It is only fitting that the United States, a "nation of immigrants," is home to the only world city built primarily by immigration. More immigrants have entered the United States through New York than through all other entry points combined, making New Yorks immigrant saga a quintessentially American story. City of Dreams is the long-overdue, inspiring, and defining account of New Yorks both famous and forgotten immigrants: the young man from the Caribbean who relocated to New York and became a Founding Father; an Italian immigrant who toiled for years at railroad track maintenance before achieving his dream of becoming a nationall y renowned poet; Russian-born Emma Goldman, who condoned the murder of American industrialists as a means of aiding downtrodden workers; Dominican immigrant Oscar de la Renta, who dressed first ladies from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama. Over ten years in the making, Tyler Anbinders story is one of innovators and artists, revolutionaries and rioters, staggering deprivation and soaring triumphs. Todays immigrants are really no different from those who have come to America in centuries pastâ€"and their story has never before been told with such breadth of scope, lavish research, and resounding spirit.
