The Downtown Jews: Portraits of an Immigrant Generation, by Ronald Sanders (read 4 Jan 2005) Because I so enjoyed Sanders' great work on the Balfour Declaration which I read 29 Aug 1985, and World of Our Fathers, by Irving Howe (read Dec 19, 1998), I decided to read this 1969 book. It was often not very interesting, especially when it was telling in great detail of Yiddish newspapermen fighting with each other. But there is also much worth reading in it. The lower East Side in New York in its day must have been an interesting place, though I would have liked to have had more detail on its politics than is found in this account.

Many of the Jewish emigrants who fled Eastern Europe in the late 1800s settled in New York City’s Lower East Side, establishing a vital and colorful subculture populated by laborers, radicals, actors, poets, peddlers, journalists, and intellectuals. This dramatic narrative captures the community’s torrent of ideological battles, the rise of organized labor in the garment industry, the growth of the Yiddish press and theater, and much more.
