- W190782009 abstract "Howard Sachar's book is without doubt the most readable and comprehensive one-volume chronicle of the American Jewish experience we have had to date. It is more current and fact-filled than Henry Feingold's Zion in America (1974), more well-organized and lucid than Abraham Karp's Haven and Home (1985), and superior on all counts, including accuracy and balance, to Arthur Hertzberg's The Jews in America (1989). This should come as no surprise to those familiar with Sachar's superb earlier works of synthesis, especially The Course of Modern Jewish History (1958), A History of Israel (vol. 1, 1976; vol. 2, 1987), and Diaspora (1985). The volume is structured chronologically, beginning with the Sephardic Jewish immigrant beachhead in the early Americas and ending with the challenge of absorbing new Russian Jewish immigrants in the contemporary United States. Except, curiously, for the first 100 pages, Sachar's writing is masterly. He takes us through the influx of Jews from Central Europe in the 1830s, their remarkable physical and social mobility, the vastly larger East European immigration beginning in the 1880s, the increasing hegemony of the Russians, the richness of a transplanted and flourishing Yiddish culture, American Zionism, the closing of the Golden Door, Jewish religious denominationalism (including refreshingly, Reconstructionism), the resurgence of anti-Semitism in the 1920s and 1930s, Nazism and the quest for sanctuary, the Palestine imbroglio, the life-style of the third generation, Israel in the identity formation of American Jews, and questions about the ethical substance of Jewish ethnicity. Even this listing does not do justice to the range of subjects, events, data, and persons dealt with in Sachar's 25 chapters and nearly 200 subheadings. And there are important insights, arresting facts, and compelling anecdotal materials throughout. There are as well many even-handed treatments of highly charged questions. We are reminded, for example, that the historic relationship between" @default.
