The Jews in America cover

A controversial examination of the Jewish "success story" in American that questions notions of identity, assimilation, and ethnicity.

This non-fiction paperback, "The Jews in America" from Arthur Hertzberg, was published 23rd April 1998 by Columbia University Press.

A useful and scrupulously fair account of what is a true American epic. The New York Times Book Review A trenchant history... Arthur Hertzberg is sounding an alarm that no Jew can afford to ignore if he cares about the survival of American Jewry. The Boston Globe [Hertzberg's] book, which is a product of lived experience as well as wide reading, springs from dedication rather than detachment. It is certainly an affectionate narrative of achievements and of the notable Jews identified with them. New York Review of Books
