News
of New York
New
York’s debt to immigrants has become almost a cliché. Since Ellis
Island was established as a center for new arrivals in 1892, millions
of people have sought the shelter of Lady Liberty, fleeing poverty,
famine, war and persecution overseas.
They
literally and figuratively built New York, from the skyscrapers and
dockyards to the corner delis and garment factories. They brought
their native foods and religions, customs and clothing, which New
York graciously absorbed. But those immigrants built the city inward
and upward, and few ever ventured off the cramped, self-contained
island of Manhattan.
The
new immigrants are different. They are heading not for Manhattan, but
for the more remote outer boroughs – chiefly Queens, Brooklyn and
the Bronx – where housing is cheaper, job opportunities abound and
there are plenty of derelict neighborhoods ripe for revitalization.
They couldn’t have done it without immigrants. Visiting the outer
boroughs today is like taking a trip round the world. In Queens,
Hindus worship at a temple with carved elephant heads. West Indians
play cricket in the shadow of the globe left over from the 1964
World’s Fair. In the Bronx,
Mexicans
barbecue pork over open barrels in Pelham Park. Albanians gather in
corner groceries to share job tips. And in Brooklyn, Rastafarians
hold raucous drumming sessions in Prospect Park…
… JFK
airport in Queens has become the new Ellis Island, welcoming arrivals
from all over the globe and whisking them off to neighborhoods ready
to help them adapt. Pakistanis in the Bellerose neighborhood of
Queens, for one, advertise job opportunities in local papers back
home. So it’s easy to understand why a newly arrived family from
Karachi would head straight for Bellerose, where a mosque and a halal
butcher are already established. But what makes the first person of
any
given
background venture into unknown territory? Some unnamable blend of
courage, opportunity and desperation, without which New York would
never have become what Walt Whitman called the “proud and
passionate … mad, extravagant city!” that it’s renowned as
today.
