Where can I learn about New York City and race relations in the 1930's and 1940's?

That is a lot of stuff you need to know so..\nhttp://www.questia.com/\n\nHas books, magazines and interviews. Also an easy way to find other outside sources. All with page numbers and year of pub.

You might try to Chicago Cultural Center or the Chicago Historical Society.  I'd imagine that there are very few primary sources left alive at this point, but these two organizations probably have historians you could interview or know who the experts are.

Check the NY Times archives.  The best way to do this online is to go to the site and register.  If it costs, go to library, and see if they have anything on microfilm.  I believe The Dharma Bums came out in the mid-50's so there should be microfilm somewhere.  Also check the Chicago Tribune, LA Times, etc.  Any older newpapers that were around 50 years ago should have a book review column.  I am not sure if the Village Voice was around then but check there too since he lived in Greenwich.\n\nI Hope This Helps,\nAmy

I recommend reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"...a classic book about a girl being in New York in the 1920's in between wars. It's really very excellent.

This is an interesting question. The census bureau's website would probably be the best place to start. I do not know if they have all of their stats posted from decades past.

Here's a book that you might be able to pick up at a library: The Black Image in the White Mind: Media and Race in America, By Robert M. Entman, Andrew Rojecki\n\nDoes your school have access to EBSCO host? That's a really great way to find periodicals for research. I used EBSCO host to find the following article:\n\nhttp://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0190-2725(199709)60%3A3%3C266%3AEOSTPO%3E2.0.CO%3B2-7 is a link to the abstract of a relevant research article, but you'd have to visit a library with this journal to get the full article (most university libraries will have this journal..it's quite common)\n\nYou can also try scholar.google.com. It's a great research tool!\n\nHere are some other links:\nhttp://aalbc.com/bio.htm\nhttp://www.yaaams.org/whoweare/\nhttp://jbs.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/34/3/323\n\nHope this helps!
