Before the Melting Pot
Author: Joyce D. Goodfriend
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691037875
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
From its earliest days under English rule, New York City had an unusually diverse ethnic makeup, with substantial numbers of Dutch, English, Scottish, Irish, French, German, and Jewish immigrants, as well as a large African-American population. Joyce Goodfriend paints a vivid portrait of this society, exploring the meaning of ethnicity in early America and showing how colonial settlers of varying backgrounds worked out a basis for coexistence. She argues that, contrary to the prevalent notion of rapid Anglicization, ethnicity proved an enduring force in this small urban society well into the eighteenth century.

Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 0870997254
Category : Illumination of books and manuscripts, Italian
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
. By way of introduction to the objects themselves are three essays. The first, by Laurence B. Kanter, presents an overview of Florentine illumination between 1300 and 1450 and thumbnail sketches of the artists featured in this volume. The second essay, by Barbara Drake Boehm, focuses on the types of books illuminators helped to create.
