In Jewish Family: Identity and Self-Formation at Home Alex Pomson
and Randal F. Schnoor advance a new appreciation for the deep
significance of Jewish family in developing Jewish identity. This
book is the result of ten years of research focused on a small
sample of diverse families. Through their work, the authors paint
an intricate picture of the ecosystem that the family unit provides
for identity formation over the life course. They draw upon
theories of family development as well as sociological theories of
the transmission of social and cultural capital in their analysis
of the research. They find that family networks, which are often
intergenerational, are just as significant as cultural capital,
such as knowledge and competence in Judaism, to the formation of
Jewish identity. Pomson and Schnoor provide readers with a unique
view into the complexity of being Jewish in North America today.
