20世纪纽约移民与社会重构

The Twentieth-century New Yorkers and Social Reconstruction

20世纪以来,随着美国的崛起和移民政策的调整,亚非拉移民人数增多,从而导致纽约市人口结构的诸多变化,非白人人口比例上升,移民年轻化、女性移民比例增加及移民受教育程度提高。这些变化引起纽约少数族裔为适应社会而斗争,并促使有组织的族裔团体和纽约人特性的形成。他们在冲突中求生存,在竞争中求发展,为纽约社会重构作出了巨大贡献。

With the rise of the U. S. in the twentieth-century world and its adjustment to immigration policies, the quantity of immigrants from Asia, Africa and Latin America has greatly increased, which has brought about many changes in the population structure of New York City. The rate of non-white population, female immigrants, younger immigrants and educated immigrants all rise. In order to survive the New York society these minorities struggle bitterly, forming some organized ethnic groups to develop characteristics of New Yorkers. These immigrants strive for their survival in conflicts and their development in competitions. They have contributed a lot to the reconstruction of New York City.
