More DescriptionAmerica is home to nearly 6 million Jews. From the time of their arrival in North America in 1654 to the present day, Jews have overcome barriers to their acceptance, worked hard to improve life for their children, and preserved their heritage. In the process, Jews have made America a more pluralistic society. Editor Adriane Ruggiero has compiled a collection of essays that provides a candid and rich history of Jewish immigration to America. The essays express the problems, successes, and issues encountered in the search for a better life. An entire chapter is dedicated to biographical content on notable Jewish Immigrants. This resource is perfect as an eye-opening historical survey, but is also great for report-writing and research.
