They were the Eastern European Jews who, during four decades beginning in the 1880s, came to America in the great migration. Here is the story of how they tried to keep their Yiddish culture while making their way in the new society. It is a classic American story, but also inimitably Jewish. Irving Howe's book is a daring work of broad historical range, projecting individual hopes & particular deeds. Here are Joseph Barondess, Abraham Cahan, Jacob Adler, Lillian Wald, Morris Raphael Cohen, Belle Moskowitz, David Dubinsky. Here is every aspect of Jewish life--the old country village, the Atlantic crossing in steerage, the teeming life of the East Side, the Yiddish press & theater, the settlement houses, the garment trades & unions, the associations of old country neighbors, the various socialist groups, the synagogue & the Hebrew school, the sweatshops & such disasters as the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. The Jewish immigrant families generated artistic & political movements that affected all Americans. They played a prominent role in the New Deal social reforms & in the theater, cinema, & literature. No impulse that stirred the Jewish people is omitted from the book, & in its epilogue, "Questions upon Questions", Mr. Howe wryly reflects upon their future. "World of Our Fathers" belongs not only in the library of every Jewish family but also in the library of every reader whose people came from somewhere else &, coming here, became something unique. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "a great book . a marvelous narrative." -NYTBR.
