This book studies the connections between academic disciplines and notions of Jewish assimilation and integration and demonstrates that the quest for Jewish assimilation is linked to and built into the conceptual foundations of modern social science disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on two influential \"assimilated\" Jewish authors--anthropologist Franz Boas and sociologist Georg Simmel--this study shows that epistemological considerations underlie the authors' respective evaluations of the Jews' assimilation in German and American societies as a form of \"group extinction\" or as a form of \"social identity.\" This conceptual model gives a new \"key\" to understanding pivotal issues in recent Jewish history and in the history of the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amos Morris-Reich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415960894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415960892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.44w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 63","brand":"Amos Morris-Reich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064977567999,"sku":"9780415960892","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_238b893d-219e-4c8f-91f5-1177513bc236.jpg?v=1768672314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quest-for-jewish-assimilation-amos-morris-reich-9780415960892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
