Sobre este item
New York: Harper & Row, 1969. First edition. Softcover. vg. Octavo. X, [4], 477, [3]pp. Uncut. Original photographic wrappers over blue cloth with gold and silver lettering on spine and printer's device in silver on front cover. Captivating work telling the fascinating story of the Americanization of the Jewish immigrants in all its aspects. The book is organized around the life of a fabulous character of the time, Abraham Cahan. When Calan became the editor of the "Jewish Daily Forward" it was a minor Yiddish-language newspaper; at the peak of its career, and of his, it had one of the largest circulations of any newspaper in America. With a novelistic gift for character and detail, the author analyzes and discusses the process by which America Americanizes its immigrants. This work is profusely illustrated with 16 pages of b/w photographic reproductions. Very minor rubbing and age-toning along edges of wrappers. Price clipped on front flap. Wraps in overall good+, binding and interior in good+ to very good condition.

Great discussion of the Jewish immigrant experience. Explains in detail the rise of Abraham Cahan and the largest Yiddish newspaper, The Daily Jewish Forward. It is a good history of the rise of labor forces from the garment industry.
