Recenzii

"Making New York Dominican is truly groundbreaking work on an important Latin American immigrant group.A In Christian Krohn-Hansen's vivid, theoretically sophisticated ethnography, business is the central focus: how it works, how Dominican business owners break in and succeed, how they form political and cultural associations that sustain them and further their success, and how the impress of these businesses has made its mark on New York neighborhoods and political economyA over three decades."-Roger Sanjek, author of The Future of Us All: Race and Neighborhood Politics in New York City.
