Kurzfassung:
Discusses Jewish historiography of the 20th century on the acculturation of Jewish immigrants to America in the 19th-20th centuries. Focuses on the historians' views regarding immigrants' choice of residential areas, their social conditions, and their identification with Jewish ritual practices, contrasting the historiography of the 1920s (written by university professors, especially those connected with what was called the Chicago School of Sociology, who had little contact and knowledge about Jewish immigrants) with the works of scholars from the 1950s and up to the present, who are much more well- informed on the subject.
Anmerkung:
Appeared also in his "American Jewish Orthodoxy in Historical Perspective" (1996) 247-264.
