"The Talmudic structure of Crossing the BLVD juxtaposes multiple perspectives within families, and between neighbors, co-workers, and classmates who come from opposite ends of the earth. First person narratives are illuminated by photographic portraits of the subjects, the objects they carry from home to home, historical and cultural context, and Lehrer/Sloan's observations. From Guyanese ping pong champions to public school teachers recruited from Austria - Lehrer/Sloan investigate what brings people to America and the obstacles, ironies, and triumphs they experience once they get here. These extraordinary immigration stories reveal the human toll of a cold- and post-cold-war world, forming a portrait of a paradoxical and ever-shifting America."--BOOK JACKET.
