Mitchell Snider reviews New York and Amsterdam: Immigration and the New Urban Landscape. The edited collection provides critical analyses of immigrant experiences, migration politics, the different contexts of reception in New York and Amsterdam, as well as critical reflection on the difficulties and rewards of comparative study. The book’s editors and authors are mostly sociologists, but scholars from other disciplines such as political science and parts of the humanities also contribute perspectives.
