Jewish Life In Philadelphia 1830-1940 (1281)

FRIEDMAN, MURRAY, ED

Brief Description:
SECONDHAND COPY. Hardback in fine condition except for a small tear in the dust jacket. Philadelphia Jews, in the last half of the twentieth century, became a force to reckon with in the cultural, political and economic life of the region. From the poor neighborhoods of original immigrant settlement, in South and West Philadelphia, Jews have made, as Murray Friedman recounts, the move from "outsiders" to "insiders" in Philadelphia life. Essays by a diverse range of contributors tell the story of this transformation in many spheres of life, both in and out of the Jewish community.
