From Tammany Hall to the election of David Dinkins, this work offers insights into the effect of ethnic competition on the demise of urban political machines. It traces the effect of the arrival of large numbers of Jewish and Italian immigrants - and later black and Puerto Rican migrants - on the Irish-dominated political machine.
