CULTURE AND COMMUNITY IN NEW YORK CITY, 1700-1730 --; CONCLUSION --; NOTES TO THE CHAPTERS --; INDEX; restricted access N2 - 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.
