  • City College in the Popular Imagination Philip Kay Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of
    ‘Guttersnipes’ and ‘Eliterates’: City College in the Popular Imagination Philip Kay Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK 2011 © 2011 Philip Kay All rights reserved (This page intentionally left blank) ABSTRACT ‘Guttersnipes’ and ‘Eliterates’: City College in the Popular Imagination Philip Kay Young people go to college not merely to equip themselves for competition in the workplace, but also to construct new identities and find a home in the world. This dissertation shows how, in the midst of wrenching social change, communities, too, use colleges in their struggle to reinvent and re-situate themselves in relation to other groups. As a case study of this symbolic process I focus on the City College of New York, the world’s first tuition-free, publicly funded municipal college, erstwhile “Harvard of the Poor,” and birthplace of affirmative action programs and “Open Admissions” in higher education. I examine five key moments between 1940 and 2000 when the college dominated the headlines and draw on journalistic accounts, memoirs, guidebooks, fiction, poetry, drama, songs, and interviews with former students and faculty to chart the institution’s emergence as a cultural icon, a lightning rod, and the perennial focus of public controversy. In each instance a variety of actors from the Catholic Church to the New York Post mobilized popular perceptions in order to alternately shore up and erode support for City College and, in so doing, worked to reconfigure the larger New York public.

  • The Multiracial Bronx: a Unique Cultural Incubator in Post War America
    Fordham University DigitalResearch@Fordham Occasional Essays Bronx African American History Project 1-28-2019 The Multiracial Bronx: A Unique Cultural Incubator in Post War America Mark Naison Follow this and additional works at: https://fordham.bepress.com/baahp_essays Part of the African American Studies Commons, Africana Studies Commons, Ethnomusicology Commons, and the United States History Commons The Multiracial Bronx: A Unique Cultural Incubator in Post War America In 1950, a basketball team from City College of New York achieved a feat that had never been equaled before and has never been equaled since, winning the two most prestigious college basketball tournaments the NCAA Championship, and the NIT Championship, in a single year. The team that achieved this remarkable feat was entirely composed of players from New York City public high schools, but what made it even more remarkable was that the four stars of the team. Ed Roman, Ed Warner, Irwin Dambrot, and Floyd Lane, two of whom were Black, two of whom were Jewish, all came out of the Bronx. In the light of research I have done on Bronx communities in the post war years, this hardly seems accidental. In the late 1940's and early 1950's, the Bronx had more racially mixed neighborhoods, more racially mixed housing projects and more racially mixed high schools, than any place in New York City and quite likely, any place in the United States. The result of this was an explosion of cultural creativity, visible in sports as well as popular music, that was unique at the time and worth celebrating and commemorating The demographic context for this was the migration of nearly 100,000 people of African descent into the Bronx between 1940 and 1950, most of them upwardly mobile families from Harlem.
