The only place we could find had two 8’ by 10’ rooms, but we took it. We started up the 18” wide creaky stairs and found our antique rooms with floors leaning to the point marbles would roll. I began to have some concern for our safety, but others were just laughing. The conveniences were substandard, with one separate public bathroom for the floor.
On the overpass leading into Yonkers is a large sign which states "GENERATION Y" short for generation Yonkers. After some research I found out that this was a plan to revitalize Yonkers.

Globalization has drastically modified how various cultures and societies affect each other. The disturbances caused by globalization have developed several issues among anthropologists, such as, how do we study such complex circumstances? Transnational families and global nationalism in particular, have introduced foreign obstacles for anthropologists, as there is no set, scientific ways to study such realities. With globalization presenting an ever changing world, both single and multi sited field work have its place, as anthropology is not limited by a specific set of rules such as scientific study.
South Bronx in the 70´s If we talk about the South Bronx in the 70´s, we can found a lot of graffiti, music, poverty, violence, racism, drugs but for understanding what was going on and why all those things where happening, we need to understand what was going on behind that, and how that marginalized an entire community and how the hip hop began.

N-YHS holds 66,000 unique subway construction photographs that provide a wealth of information on the built environment of the city, including buildings that had to be demolished to dig the routes and the public spaces that were forever altered. The New York City subway system is the largest subway network in the country, and its construction – in three separate phases – constitutes one of the largest infrastructure projects ever undertaken by any U.S. metropolitan area. The photographs capture streetscapes and the rhythms of daily life in the city; document engineering technologies during a transitional era in which manual and animal labor coexisted with new, mechanized approaches; and depict the growth of the modern city and its ever more diverse population.
