Other Jews also knew what New York off ered that made it so desirable, even if they had not served overseas. First and foremost, security: Jews could live without fear in New York. Yes, they faced discrimination, but in this city of almost eight mil- lion residents, many members of its ethnic and religious groups encountered prejudice. Jews contended with anti-Semitism in the twentieth century more than German Protestants or Irish Catholics dealt with bias, perhaps; but the Irish had endured a lot in the nineteenth century, and Jews suff ered less than African Americans, Latinos, and Asian New Yorkers. And New York provided more than security: Jews could live freely as Jews. Th e presence of a diverse population of close to two million New York Jews contributed to their sense that “everyone was Jewish.”2 New York Jews understood that there were many ways to be Jewish. Th e city welcomed Jews in all their variety. New York Jews saw the city as a place where they, too, could fl ourish and express themselves. As a result, they came to identify with the city, absorbing its ethos even as they helped to shape its urban characteristics. When World War II ended in Europe with victory over Nazi Germany, New York’s promises glowed more brightly still. New York’s multiethnic diversity, shaped in vital dimensions by its large Jewish population, shimmered as a showplace of American democratic dis- tinctiveness, especially vis-à-vis Europe. In contrast to a continent that had be- come a vast slaughterhouse, where millions of European Jews had been ruth- lessly murdered with industrial effi ciency, New York glistened as a city Jews could and did call their home in America. Th e famous skyline had defi ned urban cosmopolitanism in the years aft er World War I. Now the city’s thriving ethnic neighborhoods — Jewish and Catholic, African American and Puerto Rican, Italian and Irish — came to represent modern urban culture. New York’s economy responded robustly to demands of war production. By the end of hostilities, its per capita income exceeded the national average by 14 percent. xi xii ■ Foreword But as a poster city for immigration, with a majority population composed of immigrants and their children, the city had to contend with negative percep- tions. Considered undesirable by many Americans, Jews and other foreigners in the city contributed to impressions that New York seemed less American than other cities with large percentages of native-born residents.3 As the city fl ourished during and aft er the war, it maintained its political commitments to generous social welfare benefi ts to help its poorest residents. Jews advocated for these policies, supporting eff orts to establish a liberal ur- ban legacy. In modeling a progressive and prosperous multiethnic twentieth- century American city, New York demonstrated what its Jews valued. Versions of Jewish urbanism played not just on the political stage but also on the streets of the city’s neighborhoods. Its expressions could be found as well in New York’s centers of cultural production. By the middle of the twentieth century, no city off ered Jews more than New York. It nourished both celebration and critique. New York gave Jews visibility as individuals and as a group. It provided employment and education, inspira- tion and freedom, fellowship and community. Jews reciprocated by falling in love with the city, its buildings’ hard angles and perspectives, its grimy streets and harried pace. But by the 1960s and ’70s, Jews’ love aff air with the city soured. For many of the second generation who grew up on New York’s side- walks, immersed in its babel of languages and cultural syncretism, prosper- ity dimmed their aff ection for the working-class urban world of their youth. Many of them aspired to suburban pleasures of home ownership, grass and trees that did not have to be shared with others in public parks. Yet New York City remained the wellspring of Jewish American culture for much of the cen- tury, a resource of Jewishness even for those living thousands of miles west of the Hudson River. Jews had not always felt free to imagine the city as their special place. In- deed, not until mass immigration from Europe piled up their numbers, from the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands, had Jews laid claim to New York and infl uenced its politics and culture. Its Jewish population soared from fi ve hundred thousand at the turn of the twentieth century to 1.1 mil- lion before the start of World War I. On the eve of World War II, Jews, over a quarter of New York’s residents, ranked as the largest ethnic group.4 Demog- raphy both encouraged many outsiders to perceive New York as a Jewish city and underwrote local cultural productions, such as a thriving theater scene, a Foreword ■ xiii fl ourishing popular music business, and extensive publishing in several lan- guages. Jews were used to living as a minority in Europe and the Middle East. New York off ered life without a majority population — without one single eth- nic group dominating urban society.

Murphy by Carter Manny, in our collection of oral histories of Chicago architects. Carter Manny, a close associate of Murphy's, deserves our lasting thanks for his perception in recognizing the historical significance of Murphy's so often casually told stories and for his efforts to given them permanent form. It is an important addition to our collection because it brings to light many aspects of the practice of architecture in Chicago in the early years that only a privileged few could address. We share Carter's regret that we could not have had more of Murphy's recollections, but are indeed appreciative for what is here.

  • The Great Unwashed Public Baths in Urban America, 1840-1920
    Washiîi! The Great Unwashed Public Baths in Urban America, 1840-1920 a\TH5 FOR Marilyn Thornton Williams Washing "The Great Unwashed" examines the almost forgotten public bath movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth cen­ turies—its origins, its leaders and their motives, and its achievements. Marilyn Williams surveys the development of the American obsession with cleanliness in the nineteenth century and discusses the pub­ lic bath movement in the context of urban reform in New York, Baltimore, Philadel­ phia, Chicago, and Boston. During the nineteenth century, personal cleanliness had become a necessity, not only for social acceptability and public health, but as a symbol of middle-class sta­ tus, good character, and membership in the civic community. American reformers believed that public baths were an impor­ tant amenity that progressive cities should provide for their poorer citizens. The bur­ geoning of urban slums of Irish immi­ grants, the water cure craze and other health reforms that associated cleanliness with health, the threat of epidemics—es­ pecially cholera—all contributed to the growing demand for public baths. New waves of southern and eastern European immigrants, who reformers perceived as unclean and therefore unhealthy, and in­ creasing acceptance of the germ theory of disease in the 1880s added new impetus to the movement. During the Progressive Era, these fac­ tors coalesced and the public bath move­ ment achieved its peak of success. Between 1890 and 1915 more than forty cities constructed systems of public baths.

Downloaded from juh.sagepub.com at SAGE Publications on February 17, 2014 THE INFORMAL WORLD OF POLICE PATROL New York City in the Early Twentieth Century CHRISTOPHER THALE Columbia College Chicago Nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century foot patrolmen did not have friendly contact with all citizens on their beats. Police-citizen relations were sometimes hostile or simply anonymous. Beats embraced large, socially divided populations, which did not always agree on police priorities. This article explores street-level police-citizen relations in New York City in the early twentieth century using disciplinary records, police-oriented newspapers, autobiographies, and other sources. Police-citizen contacts were selective. Merchants, shopkeepers, watchmen, and janitors shared common interests with police, which were strengthened by exchange of goods, services, the use of space, and sympathy and conversation. Police became especially attentive to their concerns about crime and disorder.

  • THE POLITICIAN Al Smith Was Fundamentally A
    THE POLITICIAN Al Smith was fundamentally a politician; subordinate only to his faith and family, politics dominated his life. 1 Smith was, furthermore, a talented and shrewd politician, possessing a combination of natural gifts and acquired skills that made him a master at his trade. His experience in New York politics constituted an education that actuated his behavior in national politics, and his achievements testified to his political proficiency. Smith possessed qualities common among successful politicians. He had a superb memory for faces and facts, an engaging manner, and a public personality that was widely recognized as a valuable asset. “If everyone in New York State had a personal acquaintance with Al Smith,” one Republican said, “there would be no votes on the other side.” Will Rogers underscored this point when he asserted that Smith could enter the strongest Klan town in the country, meet with the Klansmen there, and by the end of the week be elected “Honorary Grand Kleagle Dragon.” Smith, moreover, recognized the need to keep political fences mended. He became aware early in his Assembly career how he was expected to serve his constituents: a favor, a private bill, or a discreet intercession for someone in difficulty. Realizing that the machine legislator was really but an assistant to his district leader and that the organization was his device for contact with his constituents, Smith appeared with his leader at the Hall every weekend to be available to the district’s people. He made sure also that they could always reach him in times of immediate need.

This dissertation seeks to re-interpret Tammany in the context of a transatlantic Irish experience of hunger, dislocation, and alienation. Irish immigrants brought with them distinct political narratives which were incorporated into Tammany Hall’s pragmatic but progressive ideology during the first quarter of the 20th Century. These political narratives, centered on the experience of powerlessness and oppression in Ireland and inextricably linked to Catholicism, led Irish immigrants to regard reformers in New York as American versions of their traditional enemies, the well-born Anglo-Protestant. The Irish arrived in New York with an understanding of the power of mass politics thanks to Daniel O’Connell’s campaign for Catholic Emancipation in the 1820s. Few studies of Tammany Hall attempt to link O’Connell’s mobilization of the Irish peasantry to Tammany’s ability to turn out the vote, especially after the Famine exodus of 1845-52.
