Lederhendler demonstrates that the characteristics for which Jewish immigrants are commonly known - their industriousness, \"middle-class\" domestic habits, and political sympathy for the working class - were, in fact, developed in response to their new situation in the United States. This experience realigned Jewish social values and restored to these immigrants a sense of status, honor, and a novel kind of social belonging, and with it the \"social capital\" needed to establish a community quite different from the ones they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52613250875699,"sku":"9780521730235","price":59.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/YTlBaTc2amloY3RUTmdWTG8xWmg3Zz09.webp?v=1761857735","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/jewish-immigrants-and-american-capitalism-1880-1920-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
