The Convergence of Cultures: Shaping Great Cities

www.kcet.org/shows/the-migran...
How is the cultural identity of a city formed? Rubén Martinez, journalist and writer of the film ""When Worlds Collide,"" explores how the immigrant experience shapes great cities.
As Ruben states "It's productive in terms of the economy and it's also creative because people are trying to do good business. And to do good business... to get customers you have to be creative. And often times, of course, that happens on the level of culture itself. Fusion cuisine is nothing more and nothing less than the story of immigrants bumping into each other on the street in Los Angeles.
Stuff starts to shift, culturally. In all kinds of different ways. People start learning the language, that starts to shift. It's not just the immigrants that are changed, the immigrants are changing the natives too and you can literally track a people's history and the history of a city through these waves and the culture they are bringing from the old country. And how it's transformed here. And how it transforms the whole. And that is how great cities are made."
