4.9/5 (24652 ratings)

Description:Ethnic Identity Dilemmas in Early Twentieth Century East European Jewish Immigrant Narratives in the United States is a comparative study of Jewish immigrants’ response to complex identity in Eastern Europe and America as deployed in narratives by two writers coming from the Russian Pale of Settlement (Mary Antin and Anzia Yezierska) and one author emigrating from the slightly less restrictive environment of Romania (M.E. Ravage). The book traces Eastern European Jewish immigrants’ passage from a fixed type of identity in autocratic Eastern European states to contingent, fluid identity in democratic United States, as recorded in their literary works from the early twentieth century. The volume also represents a pioneering attempt to recuperate the literary voices of pre-Holocaust Romanian Jewish immigrants to the Unites States by exploring the writings of M.E. Ravage and comparing his experiences to those of Jewish immigrant authors from Russia. Overall, through this volume, the author hopes to facilitate the rediscovery of long-neglected Romania-born Jewish American writers and the rethinking of the more familiar authors addressed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
