Nuevo New York showcases the great diversity of the Latin American community in the thriving cultural and artistic capital of the United States.

Reviews

Immigration to the US is a hot topic of the 2016 election, with Trump's campaign creating an increasingly hostile environment. Nuevo New York... adds a new narrative to the conversation, challenging negative stereotypes with portraits and interviews with Latin American New Yorkers who have made their mark on artistic and cultural life in the US.-- "The Guardian"
New York has always been known for its diverse mix of cultures and nationalities. But in today's heated political landscape, immigrants have become a sore subject in an increasingly hostile debate. With all this incessant talk of building walls and mass deportations, Nuevo New York, a new book celebrating notable Latinos in the culture capital of the world, aims to challenge those negative notions.--Patricia Garcia "Vogue"
