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. 606 $aJews$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xPolitics and government 606 $aJews$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xAttitudes 606 $aItalian Americans$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xPolitics and government 606 $aItalian Americans$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xAttitudes 606 $aLiberalism$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vCase studies 607 $aCanarsie (New York, N.Y.)$xPolitics and government 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xPolitics and government$y1951- 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aJews$xAttitudes. 615 0$aItalian Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aItalian Americans$xAttitudes. 615 0$aLiberalism 676 $a974.7/23 700 $aRieder$b Jonathan$01617324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812920603321 996 $aCanarsie$93948447 997 $aUNINA
