- W1993372495 abstract "I seem to have read Irving Howe's World of Our Fathers a hundred times since my emigration to America Poland in 1980.1 read it first shortly after my arrival in this country, as I was intensely educating myself in American Jewish history, and then when conceptualizing my own historical sociological studies of the adaptation of East European Jewish immigrants and their offspring outside of New York. I also read and reread the book for the courses I teach on American Jewish history, historical ethnographic methods, and historical sociology, in which I have used different fragments and different layers of this book. World of Our Fathers is a historical study and at the same time a remarkably personal book, taking rise, as one reviewer put it, from within the crucible of [Howe's] own past1 I came to know this past and its impact on the concerns and omissions in World of Our Fathers only later, having read Howe's other works as well as studies about him and his New York intellectual milieu and, especially, his autobiography, A Margin of Hope,2 in which he accounts for the entanglement of his personal life and scholarly work. In my reassessment of World of Our Fathers a quarter century after its publication, I make the blending of my scholarly and personal readings of this book quite explicit. This is because I recognize—the effect of a postmodern turn in the social sciences, I guess—the interactive character of knowledge, in this case, of learning and evaluating, as a product of a constructive engagement of the text by the researcher who reads into it his/her scholarly and lifeworld concerns and perspectives. In the same (moderate) postmodernist spirit I believe, too, that revealing the inter penetration of scholarly and personal concerns and perspectives makes the outcome—here, the assesment of a classic in American Jewish history by an immigrant American Jewish historian-sociologist—inescapably partial and perspectivist but more trustworthy and open to a more accurate appraisal by others. In what follows, then, I relate subsequent readings of the book to my expanding knowledge of American Jewish history the interpretations of which by scholar specialists also changed over time, to the restructuring of my sociological sensitivites in the process of my professional Ameri" @default.
