Nearly three million Jews came to America from Eastern Europe between 1880 and the outbreak of World War I, filled with the hope of life in a new land. Within two generations, these newcomers settled and prospered in the densely populated Yiddish-speaking neighborhoods of New York City. Against this backdrop, Ruth Gay narrates their rarely told story-a unique and vibrant portrait of a people in their daily trials and rituals-bringing alive the vitality of the streets, markets, schools, synagogues, and tenement halls where a new version of America was invented in the 1920s and 1930s. An intimate, unforgettable account, Unfinished People is a singular act of expressing in words the richly textured lives of a resilient people. \"A touching and funny evocation...marvelous in its detail.... This is history as day-to-day living-irrevocable and unforgotten.\"-Alfred Kazin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856211607840,"sku":"NEW0393322408","price":27.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71U6N71aaPL.jpg?v=1781548216","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/unfinished-people-eastern-european-jews-encounter-america-0393322408","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
