With particular attention to E.B. White’s “Here is New York,” this chapter considers the place of the cosmopolitan narrative of New York City in the post-World War II era. White argues that in the new atomic world order, New York must continue to attract migrants from around the country and the world in order to survive. While this narrative of “Cosmopolis” echoes throughout the postwar era, it is drowned out by the image of the dying city until the 1980s.
