This book, and its companion exhibition at the Autry National Center, reveals how Los Angeles has shaped Jewish identities and how Jewish Angelenos have shaped the metropolis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix incisive essays look at the mutual influence of people and place as they examine Jewish engagement with frontier society, \u003ci\u003eyidishe kultur\u003c\/i\u003e and union activism, ethnic identity and Hollywood movies, Jewish women and local politics, and Jews making music in Los Angeles. The book is illustrated with a wealth of images that illustrate how Jews, operating both at the center and the margins of power, have contributed to the place and myth called Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520275500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520275508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Karen Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076062048511,"sku":"9780520275508","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcb13e05-f44b-489d-b187-f00477947e08.jpg?v=1685462958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jews-in-the-los-angeles-karen-wilson-9780520275508","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
