A complex yet intriguing story. . . . Almost every critical reader
will be surprised.--Journal of American Ethnic History
A fascinating account. . . . Supported by the rich material [Zeitz]
has so ably presented. . . . The general reader will be fully
rewarded for whatever effort it takes to read this book.--National
Jewish Post and Opinion
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
A valuable and provocative exploration. . . . Offers us a
perspective into the postwar era that is complex and
fresh.--H-Net
A valuable contribution to the study of the ethnic and religious
experience in New York.--Catholic Historical Review
An interesting and, at times, trenchant account of ethnic relations
after the war.--The Journal of Interdisciplinary History
Does a fine job of weaving personal stories with larger doctrinal
ideologies and popular narratives. A useful corrective to the
overly simple postwar story of ethnic pluralism.--Register of the
Kentucky Historical Society
New York's liberal coalition was arguably the strongest in the
country, but as Joshua Zeitz shows in White Ethnic New York, his
fine new book on Catholic and Jewish politics in New York City,
that coalition was fragile, even in its postwar heyday.--The
Nation
Provocative. . . . Zeitz provokes and challenges assumptions, thus
contributing to our understanding of a changing political
landscape.--Jewish Book World

History
