Canarsie Schools for Canarsie Children 8. The Trials of Liberalism Notes IndexWhat accounts for the precarious state of liberalism in the mid 1980's? Why was the Republican Party able to steal away so many ethnic Democrats of modest means in recent presidential elections? Jonathan Rieder explores these questions in his powerful study of the Jews and Italians of Canarsie, a middle-income community that was once the scene of a wild insurgency against racial busing. Proud bootstrappers, the children of immigrants, Canarsians may speak with piquant New York accents, but their story has a more universal appeal. Canarsie is Middle America, Brooklyn-style.JewsNew York (State)New YorkPolitics and governmentJewsNew York (State)New YorkAttitudesItalian AmericansNew York (State)New YorkPolitics and governmentItalian AmericansNew York (State)New YorkAttitudesLiberalismNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesCanarsie (New York, N.Y.)Politics and governmentNew York (N.Y.)Politics and government1951-JewsPolitics and government.JewsAttitudes.Italian AmericansPolitics and government.Italian AmericansAttitudes.Liberalism974.7/23Rieder Jonathan1617324MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812920603321Canarsie3948447UNINA
