Brooklyn Historical Society To Host Book Talk On NYC's Immigration History
Tyler Anbinder, author of "City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York," will discuss his book on March 20.
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — The Brooklyn Historical Society will host the author of City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York, Tyler Anbinder, in mid-March. Anbinder will discuss NYC's whirlwind history of newcomers and gentrification, and how waves of immigrant New Yorkers have made this city what it is.
"Anbinder shares the sweeping story of how newcomers have continually helped to define and redefine this city and country over the past few centuries, and shows how together we have created a beautifully dynamic, deeply complex community," the Brooklyn Historical Society event description says.
Tickets are $5 for the general public and free for Brooklyn Historical Society members. The book talk will happen on Monday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the historical society at 128 Pierrepoint St. in Brooklyn Heights. Purchase tickets here.
