Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

..".an impressively researched and thoughtful book ... Kosak is able to bring to the forefront the larger context in which Jewish immigrants made a place for themselves in New York City." -- Journal of American Ethnic History

"Hadassa Kosak's theoretically sophisticated study of the political culture of early East European Jewish immigrants to New York is both interesting and valuable ... Kosak makes particularly good use of newspapers published during the period with which she is concerned, and of unpublished, underutilized, autobiographies and interviews ... her work deserves to be read and applauded." -- Jewish Culture and History

"A fascinating story of artisanal Jewish people as they make the journey from the Pale of Settlement to New York's Lower East Side at the end of the nineteenth century. The source material is vibrant and alive with meaning. The analysis of the relations between artisans and the official keepers of the Jewish tradition is thoughtful and clear. The voices and the events she chronicles make this history real and readable." -- Elizabeth Ewen, author of Immigrant Women in the Land of Dollars: Life and Culture on the Lower East Side, 1890-1925
