American and Jewish historians have long shied away from the topic
of Jews and business. Avoidance patterns grew in part from old,
often negative stereotypes that linked Jews with money, and the
perceived ease and regularity with which they found success with
money, condemning Jews for their desires for wealth and their
proclivities for turning a profit. A new, dauntless generation of
historians, however, realizes that Jewish business has had and
continues to have a profound impact on American culture and
development, and patterns of immigrant Jewish exploration of
business opportunities reflect internal, communal, Jewish-cultural
structures and their relationship to the larger non-Jewish world.
As such, they see the subject rightly as a vital and underexplored
area of study. Doing Business in America: A Jewish History, edited
by Hasia R. Diner, rises to the challenge of taking on the
long-unspoken taboo subject, comprising leading scholars and
exploring an array of key topics in this important and growing area
of research.
