Jews: A People's History of the Lower East Side Volume 1

By Alan J. Weberman, Clayton Patterson, Mareleyn Schneider

Volume 1 is part of a monumental work that combines studies of the Manhattan neighborhood as it became a center of Jewish immigration in the 1880s till the present when it is still home to a few Jewish cultural institutions and many Jewish movers and shakers from Phillip Glass to John Zorn to Judith Malina. Volume 1, edited by Mareleyn Schneider and Clayton Patterson, highlights such areas as the shuls, the restaurants, groceries, synagogue, the public baths, the press, and colorful characters, from Jewish boxers to congressmen
