A fascinating look at today's American Jews by a sociologist,
By A Customer
This review is from: Portrait Of American Jews: The Last Half of the 20th Century (Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies) (Paperback)
This book efficiently, elegantly and in a highly readable way provides a close look at the situation of American Jews in the last five decades of the twentieth century. It covers the assimilationist trends of the 1950's the counterculture of the 1960's and 1970's and the division of the the 1980's and 1990's into a small core of committed Jews and a large periphery of Jews who are proud of their Jewish culture but barely attached to it. A must for anyone who wants to understand where today's American Jews have come from and where they are going.
