And why is the story more complicated? 4) Joseph Berger, Edwidge Danticat, Claude Brown and Nancy Foner all write about immigrant in New York. Each, however, offers a different take. How do these authors differ, how are their descriptions of New York different and why, if at all, do such difference matter?
