Publisher Synopsis
This is an exemplary study of striking success in acculturation, differentiation, and rise to prosperity and prestige. Choice The book's purpose 'is threefold: to document the impressive contributions of Jewish liberals to American political culture, to define the limits of American Jewish liberalism, and to reconcile the apparent contradiction between Jewish liberal strength and its serious failures.' Well grounded in both primary and secondary sources, the book does all three well. -- Cheryl Greenberg The Historian For those looking for an overview of the subject, Quest for Inclusion fills the bill very well... [It] will be of great interest to those studying political liberalism, ethnic groups and American politics, and ethnic acculturation. -- Dana Kaplan Journal of the American Academy of Religion Read more...
