“This fine sourcebook takes us on a lively, thoughtful tour of a city that many writers, artists, and cultural historians have long known but have found hard to define. With a breadth of vision that reminds us America is two continents, Remeseira has gathered a prime selection of writers and thinkers to present a kaleidoscopic, complex whole. Hispanic New York emerges as a hybrid space, a juncture where Hispanics, Latinos, Latin Americans, or any other nation-specificname they choose to call themselves may understand their past and transform it into new cultural forms.” —SUSANA TORRUELA LEVAL, Director Emerita, El Museo del Barrio
“Sometimes a new anthology can be more than a convenient assemblage of previously scattered documents. I think of The Puritans (1938), edited by Perry Miller and Thomas H. Johnson, which permanently changed the way we understand the legacy of early New England to American culture; or Understanding Poetry (published in the same year), edited by Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren, which influenced—even controlled—how poetry was read and taught for decades. Claudio Iván Remeseira’s Hispanic New York is such a book.” ANDREW DELBANCO, author of The Real American Dream
