New York: There’s no city quite like it in the world, so naturally it comes with infinite histories of its own, personal, cultural, and political. Authors Ava Chin (Mott Street: A Chinese American Family’s Story of Exclusion and Homecoming), Tanisha Ford (Our Secret Society: Mollie Moon and the Glamour, Money, and Power Behind the Civil Rights Movement), and Ross Perlin (Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues in New York) discuss how they’ve unraveled facets of New York history from the Lower East Side to Harlem and beyond. In each of their books there’s a New York whose stories have previously been untold, detailing lives that shaped the city we know now. Hosted by Elyssa Maxx Goodman, author of Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York City.
