Concord: from Melting Pot to New Millennium
Documents the history and ongoing transformation of
this Staten Island community. Originally settled by German
immigrants, it is now undergoing changes brought by Muslim
immigrants. Socioeconomic forces are at work that ensure the
continuance of a community life here, albeit one that is reshaped
by cultural change.
