内容简介
Spanning 350 years of Jewish experience in this country, A
History of the Jews in America is an essential chronicle by the
author of The Course of Modern Jewish History.
With impressive scholarship and a riveting sense of detail,
Howard M. Sachar tells the stories of Spanish marranos and Russian
refugees, of aristocrats and threadbare social revolutionaries, of
philanthropists and Hollywood moguls. At the same time, he
elucidates the grand themes of the Jewish encounter with America,
from the bigotry of a Christian majority to the tensions among Jews
of different origins and beliefs, and from the struggle for
acceptance to the ambivalence of assimilation.
