Hasidic Williamsburg is famous as one of the most separatist, intensely religious, and politically savvy communities. Less known is how the community survived in one of New York City's toughest neighborhoods during an era of steep decline, only to later oppose and also participate in the unprecedented gentrification of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Nathaniel Deutsch and Michael Casper unravel the fascinating history of how a community of determined Holocaust survivors encountered, shaped, and sometimes fiercely resisted the urban processes that transformed their gritty neighborhood.

Fascinating read, poor pronunciation
Revisado: 07-18-21
Book is really engagingly written and dwelt researched. Performance is overall good, however the narrator really struggled with the pronunciation of Yiddish and Hebrew words, including frustrating inconsistencies. But that shouldn’t dissuade from an overall great listen
