| 1. | [no image] | How the Other Half Lives (Norton Critical Edition) from W.W. Norton & Co. Customer Review:  Essential classic to refresh past and current thinking on urban development and inequality. History is repeating itself all too comfortably. |

| 2. |  | Erin's Daughters in America: Irish Immigrant Women in the Nineteenth Century (The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science) from The Johns Hopkins University Press Price: $19.75 Customer Review:  The second half of the book is clearly superior to the first half. The lack of hard data from prior to and immediately after the Famine seems to lead the author to some curious and questionable conclusions regarding the economic motivation of the Irish women in America. She repeatedly attributes... |

| 3. |  | The Jews of the United States, 1654 to 2000 (Jewish Communities in the Modern World) from University of California Press Price: $35.00 Customer Review: Diner does a very nice job in this work. No heavy stuff, just a very good read about the history of the Jews coming to America and how they made their way in this new land. Very sensitive to this group of people, but also very lively and exciting. Demonstrates how the Jews wanted to assimilate and... |

| 5. |  | Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration from Harvard University Press Price: $18.45 Customer Review: I've seen the brand Contadini many times in the grocery store, but I never knew what it meant. I also never realized that spaghetti isn't really an Italian food. Ms. Diner included some enlightening facts about the development of immigrant diets and why certain groups of people... |

| 6. |  | Her Works Praise Her Customer Review: I loved this book! Every Jewish woman (and man) and everyone interested in Jewish life in America should read it. It gives a view of American and Jewish history I had never seen before, and it is beautifully written. It is full of moving stories of real women working to build America at every period... |

| 9. |  | A New Promised Land: A History of Jews in America from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $11.69 Customer Review:  What Ms Diner covers, she covers well, but there are some omissions in this book that make it less than scholarly. Any comprehensive history of Jews in America ought to at least touch on Judah P Benjamin, yet he is strangely absent. This book focuses very narrowly on the Northeast, especially New... |

| 11. |  | From Haven to Home: 350 Years of Jewish Life in America from George Braziller Price: $37.50 Customer Review: For the celebration of the 350th anniversary of Jewish life in America, the Library of Congress mounted an extraordinary exhibition which closes in Washington DC this month. This beautiful and thought-provoking book accompanies that exhibition, but it stands on its own as an excellent compilation of... |
