A Time for Gathering : The Second Migration, 1820-1880 (The Jewish People in America)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Diner's engaging study of the 1820-80 period is replete with fresh insights and a provocative thesis. Having mined the historical and personal literature of the period, Diner questions the sharp dichotomy usually drawn between the German Jews and East Europeans who came later, challenges the assumption of the ethnic homogeneity of 'German' Jewish immigration in her period, and contends that German Jewish assimilation more accurately ought to be portrayed as adaption, not assimilation... Original and exciting." -- Library Journal
Book Description
Volume II: A Time for Gathering.
Between 1820 and 1880, European Jews arrived in the United States in ever greater numbers. While later Jewish immigrants would criticize their "rush" to assimilation, the Jews of this period created the institutions that continue to shape Jewish life in America. In A Time for Gathering, Hasia Diner describes this "second wave" of Jewish migration.
