Description: Nicole, as part of a class of British Essay Films, created this zine about Inwood, a neighborhood at the northern end of Manhattan. She writes about and interviews her grandmother, who emigrated from Ireland and lived in Inwood in the 1940s when its population was largely made up of other Irish immigrants. Nicole considers the many worlds that have ended and begun in Inwood, as the influx of immigrants from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico coincided with white flight, and as the neighborhood experiences gentrification and change.
Notes: Gift of the author, donated in 2014.
