Irving Howe and Jewish America

Harap, Louis

Journal of Ethnic Studies, 4, 4, 95-104, Win 77

Discusses "World of Our Fathers," Howe (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1976), asserting that Howe's description of acculturation "does not convey the full character and strength of the often chauvinistic pressure upon the immigrant toward cultural conformity with Anglo-Saxon mores." Howe purportedly "has tended to soften or mute social clashes." (Author/JM)
