SUMMARY:Newton History Series: Collaborations between Irish Americans and Jewish Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:\nHistorian Hasia Diner will discuss the topic of her most 
 recent book\, Opening Doors: The Unlikely Alliance Between the Irish and 
 the Jews in America. Contrary to prevailing wisdom\, a productive alliance 
 blossomed in American cities from the late nineteenth century into the 
 1930s\, bringing Jewish and Irish Americans into each other's orbit. In 
 crucial places\, like the labor movement\, the political machine and the 
 public schools\, Irish Americans\, well settled and indeed entrenched\, 
 helped Jewish immigrants\, more recent arrivals to the United States\, to 
 achieve integration into American society.\n\n \n\nAbout the speaker: Hasia 
 Diner is Professor Emerita\, New York University where she held the Paul 
 and Sylvia Steinberg Chair in American Jewish History. She also served as 
 interim director of NYU's Glucksman Ireland House. Her work has focused on 
 American Jewish history\, American immigration history\, and the history of 
 American women. A prolific author\, several of whose books have won 
 prizes\, she has won a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as a Fulbright 
 award.\n\n \n\nCopies of Opening Doors will be available for purchase and 
 signing courtesy of Newtonville Books.\n\n \n\nThis program is part of the 
 Newton History Series\, co-sponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Free 
 Library.\n
