Made in New York
- What do today’s immigrants look like? Here is a close-up view from New York City.
Excerpt: The influence of immigration is visible everywhere in America—from everyday cuisine to presidential politics. Yet getting a handle on a trend this massive can be tricky. Should we look at overall statistics to glimpse the big picture? Or do we look to the stories of particular families to understand the individual actions that statistics can’t show? ¶Two separate projects—one undertaken by a solo photographer, the other by a think-tank—give us close-up views of New York City, a traditional gateway for immigration to the U.S. Together the two projects offer a rich and nuanced picture of immigrants struggling, thriving and playing a major role in revitalizing America’s largest city. . . .
About the photographer: Based in Brooklyn, N.Y., photographer Danny Goldfield is the founder of NYChildren, an ongoing project that seeks to photograph, from among New York City’s 8 million residents, one child from every country on Earth. Goldfield’s photos have been shown at various New York galleries and restaurants, and may be viewed at www.nychildren.org.
About the writer: David Dyssegaard Kallick is senior fellow of the Fiscal Policy Institute, a think-tank based in New York City and the Albany area. Kallick is the principal author of Working for a Better Life: A Profile of Immigrants in the New York State Economy, recently published by the FPI and available at www.fiscalpolicy.org/immigration.html.
