By examining the lives and social dynamics of Jewish university students, Keith Pickus shows how German Jews rearranged their self-images and redefined what it meant to be Jewish. Not only did the identities crafted by these students enable them to actively participate in German society, they also left an indelible imprint on contemporary Jewish culture. Pickus's portrayal of the mutability and social function of Jewish self-definition challenges previous scholarship that depicts Jewish identity as a static ideological phenomenon. By illuminating how identities fluctuated throughout life, he demonstrates that adjusting one's social relationships to accommodate the Gentile and Jewish worlds became the norm rather than the exception for 19th-century German Jews. 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIdentity 606 $aJewish college students$zGermany$xSocieties, etc$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJews$zGermany$xHistory$y1800-1933 606 $aJewish college students$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGermany$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJewish college students$xSocieties, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJewish college students$xHistory 676 $a378.1/982/9924043 700 $aPickus$b Keith H.$f1959-$01168417 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524859203321 996 $aConstructing Modern Identities$92721002 997 $aUNINA
