Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...] Edman broke the wall of fiction entirely at the end of the series by having the fictional Reuben read nonfictional essays by Horace Kallen, the professor of philosophy at the new School for Social research who coined the term "cultural pluralism" in 1924.\n Edman's series concluded with Reuben considering the relationship between discrimination and Jewish identity. Reuben's journey ends here, with Edman reinforcing that discrimination must not become the primary concern of american Jews or the determinative marker of Jewish identity. rather, the true defeat of antisemitism would be to develop a Jewish culture or idealism or express one's Jewish psyche, if there were any, so clearly and indefeasibly that they would be not only recognized but respected.
