Jews of Sing-Sing
This clearly written history of the Bronx is told from the point of real estate, which is the way New York continues to develop. Gonzalez clearly outlines the growth of the Bronx and how it went from farming communities to commuter communities to ethnic neighborhoods to slums in a century. The speed with which the changes happened is shocking, but many of us saw it happen. Gonzalez explains in good part how it happened.
She also describes how the Bronx is turning around. If you are interested in New York or urban planning, you'll want to read this short book.
