ABSTRACT
Glazer presents ethnographic data on Jews and African-Americans living in the Crown Heights neighborhood in New York, where, in 1991, a 4-day race riot rocked the community. She suggests that some issues represent unresolvable conflicts between these two groups, but that conflict can be contained or limited in some regard. Glazer describes how following the 1991 riots, the first coalition with members from both subgroups was established to recommend long-term solutions and to prevent future problems. Several projects and programs implemented to facilitate communication, interaction, and the working together of both adults and youth in the two groups are described as ways to reduce tensions and improve intergroup relations.
