Dr. Gurock’s paper was entitled “‘Getting Along in Parkchester’: A New Era in Jewish-Irish Relations in New York City 1940-1970.” He discussed the improvement in the previously contentious relations between the two ethnic groups and articulated the differences that remained. “This was my first academic presentation,” said Dr. Gurock, “of a portion of my forthcoming book, Parkchester: A Bronx Tale of Race, Ethnicity and Neighborhood Continuity, that will be published by New York Uuniversity Press.”
