Lecture by Robert W. Snyder, Manhattan Borough Historian
Upper Manhattan is well known as the site of the largest Dominican community in the United States, but from the 1920s to the 1980s it was the home of large communities of Irish, Jewish and Greek immigrants and their children. Robert Snyder’s lecture will explore how they came to Upper Manhattan, how they settled in, and how they experienced the Depression, World War II, the postwar migration to the suburbs, and the years of high crime and economic turmoil that shook New York City in the late twentieth century.
Robert Snyder, Manhattan Borough Historian, is professor emeritus of American Studies and Journalism at Rutgers University. His books include Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights and the Promise of New York and All the Nations Under Heaven: Immigrants, Migrants and the Making of New York.

Conferencia a cargo de Robert W. Snyder, Historiador del Distrito de Manhattan
El Alto Manhattan es conocido como el lugar de la comunidad dominicana más grande de los Estados Unidos, pero desde la década de 1920 hasta la de 1980 fue el hogar de grandes comunidades de inmigrantes irlandeses, judíos y griegos y sus hijos. La conferencia de Robert Snyder explorará cómo llegaron al Alto Manhattan, cómo se establecieron y cómo vivieron la Depresión, la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la migración a los suburbios de la posguerra y los años de alta criminalidad y crisis económica que sacudieron la ciudad de Nueva York a fines del siglo XX.
Robert Snyder, historiador del distrito de Manhattan, es profesor emérito de Estudios Americanos y Periodismo en la Universidad de Rutgers. Sus libros incluyen “Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights y la promesa de Nueva York” y “Todas las naciones bajo el cielo: inmigrantes, migrantes y la creación de Nueva York”.
