Download or read book Jewish New York written by Deborah Dash Moore and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of Jews in New York and how they transformed the city Jewish New York reveals the multifaceted world of one of the city’s most important ethnic and religious groups. Jewish immigrants changed New York. They built its clothing industry and constructed huge swaths of apartment buildings. New York Jews helped to make the city the center of the nation’s publishing industry and shaped popular culture in music, theater, and the arts. With a strong sense of social justice, a dedication to civil rights and civil liberties, and a belief in the duty of government to provide social welfare for all its citizens, New York Jews influenced the city, state, and nation with a new wave of social activism. In turn, New York transformed Judaism and stimulated religious pluralism, Jewish denominationalism, and contemporary feminism. The city’s neighborhoods hosted unbelievably diverse types of Jews, from Communists to Hasidim. Jewish New York not only describes Jews’ many positive influences on New York, but also exposes their struggles with poverty and anti-Semitism. These injustices reinforced an exemplary commitment to remaking New York into a model multiethnic, multiracial, and multireligious world city. Based on the acclaimed multi-volume set City of Promises: A History of the Jews of New York winner of the National Jewish Book Council 2012 Everett Family Foundation Jewish Book of the Year Award, Jewish New York spans three centuries, tracing the earliest arrival of Jews in New Amsterdam to the recent immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union.

Download or read book Housing in New York Study of City written by Michael A. Stegman and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing in New York provides accurate, current, and easily understood in-formation on New York's supply and location of housing, including data on rents and housing conditions; and on housing needs, including information on the incomes, socioeconomic characteristics, and housing expense bur-dens of the city's nearly two million renters. Wherever possible, the author compares current and past housing and market conditions to help gauge whether things are improving or getting worse. The study begins with a review of the major findings from the 1984 Housing and Vacancy Survey. The author summarizes recent changes in the size and composition of the city's population and housing stock. Emphasis is on changes in the control status of rental housing and the growth in cooperative ownership since 1981 and on changes in the racial and ethnic mix of New Yorkers. Stegman offers a thorough analysis of rental vacancies in New York, in-cluding the physical condition of the city's occupied rental stock. He deals in considerable detail with rent levels and with how rents have changed since 1981 for various types of households. He also examines how well owners and renters have fared in their battle to stay ahead of the rising cost of living. In the final chapter Stegman analyzes changes in new construction activ-ity and other sources of housing supply, including the return to the oc-cupied stock of units that had been declared losses at the time of the 1981 Housing and Vacancy Survey. He concludes with an analysis of the size, composition, location, and occupancy characteristics of the city's in rem housing inventory. This detailed study is invaluable in understanding the continuing debate concerning housing needs and conditions and the appro-priate public responsibilities to meet those needs.

Download or read book New York City and the Hollywood Musical written by Martha Shearer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In examining the relationship between the spectacular, iconic and vibrant New York of the musical and the off-screen history and geography of the real city—this book explores how the city shaped the genre and equally how the genre shaped representations of the city. Shearer argues that while the musical was for many years a prime vehicle for the idealization of urban density, the transformation New York underwent after World War II constituted a major challenge to its representation. Including analysis of 42nd Street, Swing Time, Cover Girl, On the Town, The Band Wagon, Guys and Dolls, West Side Story and many other classic and little-known musicals—this book is an innovative study of the relationship between cinema and urban space.

This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length study of Jewish culture and ethnicity in New York City after World War II. Here is an intriguing look at the cause and effect of New York City politics and culture in the 1950s and 1960s and the inner life of one of the city's largest ethnic religious groups. The New York Jewish mystique has always been tied to the , fabric and fortunes of the city, as has the community's social aspirations, political inclinations, and its very notion of "Jewishness" itself. All this, points out Eli Lederhendler, came into question as the life of the city changed. Insightfully and meticulously he explores the decline of secular Jewish ethnic culture, the growth of Jewish religious factions, and the rise of a more assertive ethnocentrism. Using memoirs, essays, news items, and data on suburbanization, religion, and race relations, the book analyzes the decline of the metropolis in the 1960s, increasing clashes between Jews and African Americans. and postwar transiency of neighborhood-based ethnic awareness.
