Tradition transformed : the Jewish experience in America
This history of the Jewish experience in America deals with the transformation of a people, from their arrival in the American colonies to their lives in the US today. The author argues "acculturation", rather than "assimilation" occurred, and American Jews have maintained an ethnic identity.
