Abstract:

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.

Key words: New York, non-white immigrant, social reconstruction, characteristic
