  • Attribution

    Seymour Martin Lipset

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, W.W. Norton, 1996

  • Description

    A major political analyst explores the deeply held but often inarticulated beliefs that make up the American creed.

Jews And The New American Scene

  • Jews And The New American Scene

  • Attribution

    Seymour Martin Lipset and Earl Raab

  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 1995

  • Description

    Will American Jews survive their success? The authors vividly illustrate this paradox as it is experienced by American Jews today–in their high rates of intermarriage, their waning observance of religious rites, their extraordinary academic and professional success, their commitment to liberalism in domestic politics, and their steadfast defense of Israel. A graceful and immensely readable work, Jews and the New American Scene provides a remarkable range of scholarship, anecdote, and statistical research–the clearest, most up-to-date account available of the dilemma facing American Jews in their third century of citizenship.
