How have immigrants shaped our country today? In a groundbreaking new book, “One Quarter of the Nation: Immigration and the Transformation of America”, sociologist Nancy Foner documents the impacts of immigration in the last half-century, from the economy and politics, in cities and rural areas, and on formative ideas about race and culture.
Join us on YouTube Live for a live-streamed Tenement Talk with Nancy Foner from the Museum’s 20th Century tenement apartment! She’ll be joined by Suketu Mehta, writer, journalist, and Professor at New York University, for a conversation on how immigrants, as one-quarter of the nation, continue to redefine American society.
While this program is free, you can donate to support future programming from the Tenement Museum here.
This program will continue to be available on our Youtube channel following the LIVE screening.
