Description:
"By tracing the nexus between ethnic acculturation and political conviction, Quest for Inclusion accounts for the Jewish community's many adaptations to American life, and asserts that a new understanding of its political goals and strategies must be sensitive to the dynamic nature of the American Jewish experience. While there has been much discussion about the origins and nature of Jewish liberalism, there has been relatively little attention paid to the breakdown of the consensus and why. Quest for Inclusion brings an important missing dimension to the discussion."--Murray Friedman, Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History, Temple University
Review Quotes: "This is an exemplary study of striking success in acculturation, differentiation, and rise to prosperity and prestige."-- "Choice"
