Racial differences in maternal risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes
This paper explores racial differences in maternal risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes across urban and rural geographies using 2019 data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Bivariate chi-square tests and logistic regression were performed which showed statistically significant geographical differences among Non-Hispanic (NH) Black pregnant women across income levels (p = .016) and perceived health status (p =…
The Lofts of SoHo
What is the recipe for gentrification? What can be borrowed from the story of New York’s SoHo to either replicate its transformation or prevent it? In The Lofts of SoHo: Gentrification, Art, and Industry in New York, 1950–1980, Aaron Shkuda cuts through the myths of “SoHo-ization” and the marketing literature of real estate developers that promise the “next SoHo” by looking at the specific historical circumstances of New York’s economic, sociopol…
A Place for Us
The iconic street scenes in the film West Side Story where dancers leap before rubble-strewn, abandoned lots were shot on the empty streets of the upper west side neighborhood of San Juan Hill, just before they were demolished to make way for the new Lincoln Center arts complex. It is rich irony: the popularity of West Side Story on stage and screen allowed classically trained dancers depicting 1950s street gangs to stand in as popular images of …
The “Loft Cause” or “Bohemia Gone Bourgeois?”
The Westbeth Arts Center in New York’s Greenwich Village was one of the first large-scale institutionally sponsored conversions of nineteenth-century factories into residential lofts for artists. A privately and publicly financed project to provide housing for low-income artists, Westbeth stood apart from individual-artist-led loft conversion in SoHo in both its scope and its philanthropic goals of democratizing the arts in postwar America. Westb…
Stephen H. Grant. Collecting Shakespeare
Stephen H. Grant’s carefully researched new biography of New York City Shakespeare collectors Henry and Emily Folger provides a window into the discreet world of bibliophiles and rare book collectors during the Gilded Age. From the 1880s through the 1930s, the Folgers amassed one of the largest collections of works by and related to William Shakespeare, eventually building the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., making the collection …
JEFFREY ABT. American Egyptologist
In his recent biography, Jeffrey Abt seeks to restore pioneering American Egyptologist James Henry Breasted to his position as a prominent public intellectual in the early twentieth century. Abt portrays Breasted in the image of an early Indiana Jones—a handsome and charismatic scholar who was able to communicate equally well with the public, fellow academics, and philanthropists like John D. Rockefeller. Trained in the model of German research u…
