"Illuminating at almost every turn, with a telling analytical expressiveness, an utterly persuasive narrative arc, and a tour-de-force impact. No work of art has made it more richly possible to see the usable pasts of the Lower East Side than Blair's book."--Thomas J. Ferraro, author of Feeling Italian: The Art of Ethnicity in America "This is an ambitious, erudite, and richly layered book, one that provides both panoramic breadth and rigorous in-depth analysis.
