Beschreibungen/Notizen
The coincidence of three landmark publications, among them Irving Howe's "World of Our Fathers," and their enthusiastic reception mark the maturation of a long-term development in American intellectual and emotional life and the beginning of a new phase in the cultural politics of American diversity--the coalescence of the ethnic revival, which a decade later would commonly be known as multiculturalism. In reckoning with the status of "World of Our Fathers" as a bestseller, the meanings and appellations affixed to the book in the non-Jewish press may be more useful than contemporary scholarly debates among Jewish intellectuals and historians.
