Description

"In drama and in musical comedy, in popular song and in symphonic music, in movies and in literature, Jews have contributed to American culture in the twentieth century to a degree out of all proportion to their numbers. But does this vast creative output coalesce into something identifiable as an American Jewish culture? Stephen J. Whitfield answers this question with a resounding "yes"."--BOOK JACKET. "Only a renewed emphasis on Judaism itself, he believes, offers the hope for American Jews to maintain the dual cultural identities that they have so long succeeded in nurturing."--BOOK JACKET.
