Críticas:

Five Volume Boxed Set "I have been teaching American history for thirty-eight years, but I was frankly astonished by much of the information contained in...[the] generally outstanding five volumes sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society in its centennial year."--David Brion Davis, 'New Republic' "A series like 'The Jewish People in America' has been badly needed... As a Jew who knows too little of the history of my own people in America, I am particularly grateful."--Jonathan Kozol, author of 'Death at an Early Age' and 'Savage Inequalities' "The most comprehensive narrative ever attempted of Jewish American life...An enduring gift."--'Philadelphia Inquirer.' "Excellent...[Feingold's] choices for the authors of the volumes were superb and each of the individuals has written a thoroughly engaging, carefully researched, and professionally impressive synthesis of an aspect of the American Jewish past."--'Journal of Social History'

Reseña del editor:

Sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society in its centennial year, this is a five-volume boxed set which chronicles Jewish life in the United States from colonial times to the present. The authors explore the roots of Jewish immigration, the experience of settling in America, economic and social adjustment, religious developments and educational aspirations, political involvements, and the experience from generation to generation of what it means to be at once both Jewish and American.
