Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Greenport, New York, a village on the North Fork of Long Island, has become an exemplar of a littlenoted national trendimmigrants spreading beyond the big coastal cities, driving much of rural population growth nationally. In Village of Immigrants, Diana R. Gordon illustrates how smalltown America has been revitalized by the arrival of these immigrants in Greenport, where she lives.Greenport today boasts a population that is onethird Hispanic. Gordon contends that these immigrants have effectively saved the towns economy by taking lowskill jobs, increasing the tax base, filling local schools, and patronizing local businesses. Greenports seaside beauty still attracts summer tourists, but it is only with the support of the local Latino workforce that elegant restaurants and bedandbreakfasts are able to serve these visitors. For Gordon the picture is complex, because the wave of immigrants also presents the town with challenges to its services and institutions. Gordons portraits of local immigrants capture the positive and the negative, with a cast of characters ranging from a Guatemalan mother of three, including one child who is profoundly disabled, to a Colombian house painter with a successful business who cannot become licensed because he remains undocumented. Village of Immigrants weaves together these peoples stories, fears, and dreams to reveal an environment plagued by threats of deportation, debts owed to coyotes, low wages, and the other bleak realities that shape the immigrant experienceeven in the charming seaport town of Greenport.A timely contribution to the national dialogue on immigration, Gordons book shows the pivotal role the American small town plays in the ongoing American immigrant storyas well as how this booming population is shaping and reviving rural communities.
