In this particular 2001 (date redacted) cover of “The New Yorker”
magazine, the idea behind the cover depicting New York is to show the
boroughs of the city in terms of Asian ethnicity, whether based on the
history of those suburbs or having a word-play using common Arab/SE
Asian names, in order to throw light on the Americans’ ignorance of
Central Asian culture. Here, Rikers Island has been referred to as X which
is a word play on the sensitive name which has bugged the Americans
post 9-11.
