Abstract:

"Before the next century is out, Americans of African, Asian, and Latin American ancestry will outnumber those of European origin. In the Elmhurst-Corona neighborhood of Queens, New York City, the transition occurred during the 1970s, and the area's two-decade experience of multiracial diversity offers us an early look at the future of urban America." "The book examines the ways in which residents - in everyday interactions, block and tenant associations, houses of worship, small business coalitions, civic rituals, incidents of ethnic and racial hostility, and political struggles for more schools, for youth programs, and against over-development - have forged and tested alliances across lines of race, ethnicity, and language."--BOOK JACKET.
