"A rich anthology of the history, ethnicity, language and culture of a city with the largest and most diverse Hispanic population in the country. " — Sam Roberts, New York Times
"A significant milestone in Nueva York studies as an interdisciplinary, multinational field with hemispheric and transatlantic scope." — Catharine E. Wall, World Literature Today
"This fine sourcebook takes us on a lively, thoughtful tour of a city that many writers, artists, and cultural historians have long known but have found hard to define. With a breadth of vision that reminds us America is two continents, Remeseira has gathered a prime selection of writers and thinkers to present a kaleidoscopic, complex whole. Hispanic New York emerges as a hybrid space, a juncture where Hispanics, Latinos, Latin Americans, or any other nation-specific name they choose to call themselves may understand their past and transform it into new cultural forms." — Susana Torruella Leval, Director Emerita, El Museo del Barrio
"With a keen journalistic eye, a historian's curiosity, and a passion for New York, Remeseira expertly portrays the nuanced stories of Hispanics in this very Latin city. Selections provide new insights and perspectives on how this metropolis of the North has been pivotal in much of the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. Remeseira's sourcebook reveals and explains this history and firmly situates New York City as an important focal point in the arts and culture of all Hispanics and Latinos." — Tony Bechara, artist and chairman of the board, El Museo del Barrio
