Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Flushing: Long Island, New York The plan pursued by the author of the following pages has been, to tell the story of our town as simply and briefly as possible, avoiding the introduction of long quotations from old documents, and in foot notes referring the reader to the authority for every statement. Only so much of the history of the Province has been introduced as was deemed necessary to explain events in the town. Without this occasional broader vision, our history would in many places be but a series of disconnected and meaningless entries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE: IN this age of many books one feels inclined to apologize for adding to the number. A history of Flushing has never been published. This fact has seemed to the author a sufficient excuse for the present undertaking. Mandeville's Flushing Past and Present contains some valuable material; but that material has not been digested, and has not been arranged in chronological order. The book cannot be called a history. The plan pursued by the author of the following pages has been, to tell the story of our town as simply and briefly as possible, avoiding the introduction of long quotations from old documents, and in foot notes referring the reader to the authority for every statement. Only so much of the history of the Province has been introduced as was deemed necessary to explain events in the town. Without this occasional broader vision, our history would in many places be but a series of disconnected and meaningless entries. The author is indebted to many persons for kind assistance. The flies of local newspapers have frequently been referred to, in preparing the chapter on modern Flushing. To his friend, Mr. E. A. Fairchild, the author again acknowledges his indebtedness for valuable assistance and suggestions in the correction of proofs.

Book excerpt: This study of a New York neighborhood’s remarkable religious diversity “deserves a place alongside Robert Orsi’s The Madonna of 115th Street” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Known locally as the “birthplace of American religious freedom,” Flushing, Queens, in New York City is now so diverse and densely populated that it’s become a microcosm of world religions. City of Gods explores the history of Flushing from the colonial period to the aftermath of September 11, 2001, spanning the origins of the settlement called Vlissingen and early struggles between Quakers, Dutch authorities, Anglicans, African Americans, Catholics, and Jews to the consolidation of New York City in 1898, two World’s Fairs, and, finally, the Immigration Act of 1965 and the arrival of Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Buddhists, and Asian and Latino Christians. A synthesis of archival sources, oral history, and ethnography, City of Gods is a thought-provoking study of religious pluralism. Using Flushing as the backdrop to examine America's contemporary religious diversity and what it means for the future of the United States, R. Scott Hanson explores both the possibilities and limits of pluralism. Hanson argues that the absence of widespread religious violence in a neighborhood with such densely concentrated diversity suggests that there is no limit to how much pluralism a pluralist society can stand. The book is set against two interrelated questions: how and where have the different religious and ethnic groups in Flushing associated with others across boundaries over time, and when has conflict or cooperation arisen? Perhaps the most extreme example of religious and ethnic pluralism in the world, Flushing is an ideal place to explore how America’s long experiment with religious freedom and pluralism began and continues. City of Gods reaches far beyond Flushing to all communities coming to terms with immigration, religion, and ethnic relations, raising the question of whether Flushing will come together in new and lasting ways to build bridges of dialogue or further fragment into a Tower of Babel. “A delightful journey through American religious history and into the future, as witnessed in the streets of what the author says is the most religiously diverse community anywhere.” —America

Download or read book The Urban Origins of Suburban Autonomy written by Richardson Dilworth and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the urbanized area that spreads across northern New Jersey and around New York City as a case study, this book presents a convincing explanation of metropolitan fragmentation—the process by which suburban communities remain as is or break off and form separate political entities. The process has important and deleterious consequences for a range of urban issues, including the weakening of public finance and school integration. The explanation centers on the independent effect of urban infrastructure, specifically sewers, roads, waterworks, gas, and electricity networks. The book argues that the development of such infrastructure in the late nineteenth century not only permitted cities to expand by annexing adjacent municipalities, but also further enhanced the ability of these suburban entities to remain or break away and form independent municipalities. The process was crucial in creating a proliferation of municipalities within metropolitan regions. The book thus shows that the roots of the urban crisis can be found in the interplay between technology, politics, and public works in the American city.

Download or read book FLUSHING STORY written by Qiu and published by I WING PRESS INC. This book was released on 2018-10-07 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the largest Chinese immigrant community, Flushing was “discovered” and invested by many Chinese. They are here to reunite with family, raise their children and establish businesses and build a new immigrant society. However, many people only see what is in front of their eyes and see Flushing as how it is today. Limited by their view, they are not able to see the Flushing that was once flourishing. It is quite regretful that the new immigrants who want to begin a new life on this wonderful land won’t get to see the old Flushing.The name “New Amsterdam” made its first appearance in an official Dutch document in 1614. What’s the relationship between the Dutch and the establishment of Flushing? Why did they name it “Flushing”?The history of Flushing contributes to the important chapter of American history. The Flushing Remonstrance of 1657 was the first written document calling for religious freedom and later it became the blueprint of the Bill of Rights. For nearly 400 years, the history of Flushing represented the history of immigrants and their fight for their right to live and vote. It all started on Oct 10, 1645, with early Dutch and English colonists who built and self-governed in the Town of Flushing.The 10-episode documentary tells the stories of Flushing, from early 1600 to the 21st century, including stories of immigrants of Dutch, British, Japanese, Korean and Chinese descendants. The film crew closely worked with scriptwriter and host Paul Qiu, Assistant Library Manager of Queens Library at Flushing, and a renowned writer and poet, to produce a historical and vivid documentary based on archive, history books, census data, and real life of Flushing. The Episodes was aired weekly from August to October 2017 and was able to draw a large audience. It brought Chinese back to history where they live and changed the view and perception of Flushing for many Chinese immigrants. What you are reading now is the print edition of 10-episode documentary.
