More about the book
In the 1920s, despite achieving significant success in America, many Jewish individuals chose to align with marginalized groups rather than fully assimilate into mainstream society. This resistance to acculturation highlights a complex identity struggle, where the children of immigrants prioritized their unique cultural heritage over complete integration, reflecting a preference for maintaining a distinct social status amidst their achievements.
