Racial science, social science, and the politics of Jewish assimilation (1999)

unapi

Description “This essay examines the work of Jewish social scientists who in the first decades of this century analyzed modern Jewish life from the perspective of anthropology and medicine ... More specifically, the essay shows how anthropological and medical analyses of Jewry were impelled by the debate between Jewish `assimilationists' and nationalists (Zionists) over Jewish integration in modern society and culture.”
