Lederhendler demonstrates that the characteristics for which Jewish immigrants are commonly known - their industriousness, middle-class domestic habits, and political sympathy for the working class - were, in fact, developed in response to their new situation in the United States. This experience realigned Jewish social values and restored to these immigrants a sense of status, honor, and a novel kind of social belonging, and with it the social capital needed to establish a community quite different from the ones they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940389060896,"sku":"NEW0521730236","price":38.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/jewish-immigrants-and-american-capitalism-1880-1920-from-caste-to-class-0521730236","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
