Download or read book Jewish Life and American Culture written by Sylvia Barack Fishman and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2000-05-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews in the United States are uniquely American in their connections to Jewish religion and ethnicity. Sylvia Barack Fishman in her groundbreaking book, Jewish Life and American Culture, shows that contemporary Jews have created a hybrid new form of Judaism, merging American values and behaviors with those from historical Jewish traditions. Fishman introduces a new concept called coalescence, an adaptation technique through which Jews merge American and Jewish elements. The author generates data from diverse sources in the social sciences and humanities, including the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey and other statistical studies, interviews and focus groups, popular and material culture, literature and film, to demonstrate the pervasiveness of coalescence.

Download or read book The Jewish Family and Jewish Continuity written by Steven Bayme and published by KTAV Publishing House, Inc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish family in America is by and large a reflection of the general American family. With the rise of divorce and the increasing preference for alternative life styles, the traditional Jewish family, like its American counterpart, is under increasing challenge. When the effects of intermarriage and a lower-than-average birth rate are added in, the continuity of the Jewish family and Jewish life is under even greater threat. The essays in this volume, by distinguished scholars and social-policy theorists, assess the situation and prescribe policy measures to minimize the adverse affects of these trends when necessary or possible. Among the questions addressed are adoption, divorce, abortion, feminism, and pornography. It is the hope of the editors and contributors alike that their work will not only aid in preserving the American Jewish family, but will have wider resonance as well.

Download or read book URBAN ODYSSEY written by Francine Cary and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1996-01-17 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to focus on the migrant and immigrant experience in the District, Urban Odyssey traces the growth and transformation of ethnic and cultural communities - Native American, African American, European, Latino, and Asian American - throughout the city's history. Seventeen essays, accompanied by more than fifty photographs, challenge stereotypes and draw out common threads from the richly woven fabric that is Washington. Urban Odyssey reflects upon the changing demographics of contemporary urban America, where ethnic groups mingle and overlap in fertile and surprising ways. Identifying a common quest among all groups to establish community, to transplant cultural traditions, and to rebuild familiar social and institutional networks on unfamiliar terrain, the authors illustrate the diverse ways in which each migrant or immigrant community has reconstructed Washington's cultural and built landscape and redefined the meaning of American pluralism.
