Editorial Reviews

Review
"Brings to life what it meant to be... Jewish or Catholic in the 1940s and 1950s." -- Alan Wolfe, Brown Alumni Magazine

"As Joshua Zeitz shows in... his fine new book on Catholic and Jewish politics, that [liberal political] coalition was fragile." -- The Nation --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review
"A valuable and provocative exploration. . . . Offers us a perspective into the postwar era that is complex and fresh."
H-Net

"An interesting and, at times, trenchant account of ethnic relations after the war."
The Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"A fascinating account. . . . Supported by the rich material [Zeitz] has so ably presented. . . . The general reader will be fully rewarded."
National Jewish Post and Opinion

"[A] fascinating book."
Catholic News Service

"A richly textured analysis of ethnicity, religion, and class. . . . Essential reading for Catholic historians and for anyone interested in understanding late twentieth-century urbanization."
American Catholic Studies

"Valuable for students of ethnic politics."
Journal of American History

White Ethnic New York is a must read for all scholars of the history of post-World-War II American politics, law, and culture. - William E. Nelson, Edward Weinfeld Professor of Law, New York University."
