The compelling argument of Eastern European Jewish American
Narratives, 1890-1930: Struggles for Recognition is that narratives
of Eastern European Jewish Americans are important discourses
offering a response to America's norms of assimilation,
rationalized progress, and control in the early twentieth century
under the guise of commitment to the specificity of individual
experiences. The book sheds light on how these texts suggest an
alternative ethical agency which encompasses both mainstream and
minority practices, and which capitalizes on the need of keeping
alive individual responsibility and vulnerability as the only means
to actually create a democratic culture. In that, this book opens
up novel areas of inquiry and research for both the academic world
and the social and cultural fields, facilitating the rediscovery of
long-neglected Eastern European Jewish American writers and the
rethinking of the more familiar authors addressed.
