    Irving Howe, World of Our Fathers: The Journey of the East European Jews to America and the Life They Found and Made (Simon and Schuster, 1976; Galahad Books, 2001
    This monumental work of social history by the famous New York intellectual is a richly anecdotal narrative of the assimilation of Eastern European Jewry to America. Covering four decades of generational and ethnic conflict, the book reveals and recalls all-but-forgotten aspects of New York's immigrant-saturated culture.
