This book is a comparative study of similar people in different
environments at the same point in time. The six chapters discuss
why eastern European Jews came to London and New York, the
differences and similarities in the settlement process, the schools
they found and the use they made of them, and the mobility they
achieved. The study concludes that individual and societal
conditions made it impossible for more than a small proportion of
the generation that grew to maturity before the first world war to
use schooling as a road to the middle class. In general, the
Russian and Polish Jews who came to New York reached the middle
class sooner than those who remained in London and thus can be said
to have made the better choice.
