Literary history comes to life as the reader turns the pages, with the buildings lining the famous road resonating with the ghosts of famous authors and intellectuals. The narrative, which chronicles the creative and inspirational events that grew within the city's cultural core, reads like a novel. The book's bohemian trails provide a vivid image of the areas that have been home to rebels, artists, and free spirits. Every chapter opens up like a window into a different time period, allowing readers to see the conflicts and alliances that molded the personality of the avenue. The end product is an engrossing novel that is timeless, drawing readers into the rich tapestry of New York's social and cultural past.

Filipino Americans are one of the three largest Asian American groups in the United States and the second largest immigrant population in the country. Yet within the field of Asian American Studies, Filipino American history and culture have received comparatively less attention than have other ethnic groups. Over the past twenty years, however, Filipino American scholars across various disciplines have published numerous books and research articles, as a way of addressing their unique concerns and experiences as an ethnic group. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Filipina/x/o American Studies, the first on the topic of Filipino American Studies, offers a comprehensive survey of an emerging field, focusing on the Filipino diaspora in the United States as well as highlighting issues facing immigrant groups in general. It covers a broad range of topics and disciplines including activism and education, arts and humanities, health, history and historical figures, immigration, psychology, regional trends, and sociology and social issues.
