Jewish New York in Abraham Cahan and Henry James


Essay, 2006

6 Pages, Grade: 1,0


Abstract or Introduction

I have decided to write my paper about Jewish New York and in particular the Lower East Side because it is a very important place in the history of Jewish America. This is a place which is inseparable from general American history, because it was influenced and shaped by immigrant culture. Jewish and American cultures merged and influenced each other on different levels.
The Jews in America had more freedom than anywhere else in the world,
Anti-Semitism was milder and could not be compared to its Eastern European form. The English language was influenced by Yiddish, and Yiddish absorbed English words and expressions.
New York became the gateway for immigrants at the end of the nineteenth century.
