| Book Review: 'Untenable' - The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America's Cities |
| 2023-09-04 |
| [American Greatness] Jack Cashill’s latest book, Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America’s Cities, sets an important story straight: The author’s expertise on the subject of "white flight" did not come from a college course, a New York Times article, a documentary, or anything of that sort. As the son of an Irish police officer growing up in a working-class ethnic neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey, in the 1950s and 60s—he lived it. "Untenable" is Cashill’s 15th book, and his first autobiography. His personal story is interwoven with the stories of dozens of other Newark residents of the same era who cherished their neighborhoods and were heartbroken when they were forced to leave. Leaving the city meant leaving their close-knit, ethnic communities and no longer having everything they needed within walking distance. Cashill remembers a time in Newark when people walked everywhere with no fear of being robbed or molested. The once thriving Catholic Roseville neighborhood, where Cashill grew up, was a multiethnic paradise in the early ’50s, as the author remembers it. Italian, Irish, Jewish, Polish, and yes, a minority of African American families lived side by side, and for the most part, everyone got along.
