Now nearly a century later, Jews are returning uptown to a gentrified Harlem.The Jews of Harlemfollows Jews into, out of, and back into this renowned metropolitan neighborhood over the course of a century and a half. It analyzes the complex set of forces that brought several generations of central European, East European, and Sephardic Jews to settle there. It explains the dynamics that led Jews to exit this part of Gotham as well as exploring the enduring Jewish presence uptown after it became overwhelmingly black and decidedly poor. And it looks at the beginnings of Jewish return as part of the transformation of New York City in our present era.The Jews of Harlemcontributes much to our understanding of Jewish and African American history in the metropolis as it highlights the ever-changing story of America s largest city.WithThe Jews of Harlem, the beginning of Dunlap s hoped-for resurfacing of this neighborhood s history is underway.
