The New York Times, Sunday Book Review, Paperback Row, announcing the release of the paperback version of "The Neighborhoods of Queens."
by Elsa Dixler
THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF QUEENS, by Claudia Gryvatz Copquin. (Yale University, $22.) New York’s largest borough, Queens is arguably “the most heterogeneous place in the world,” Kenneth Jackson writes in the introduction to this handsome book. (Officially, 44 percent of the population is foreign born; no one knows the number of illegal immigrants.) Maps and photographs, historical and contemporary, illustrate a lively introduction to the people and cultures of Queens’s 99 neighborhoods.
