Avoidance patterns grew in part from old, often negative stereotypes that linked Jews with money, and the perceived ease and regularity with which they found success with money, condemning Jews for their desires for wealth and their proclivities for turning a profit. A new, dauntless generation of historians, however, realizes that Jewish business has had and continues to have a profound impact on American culture and development, and patterns of immigrant Jewish exploration of business opportunities reflect internal, communal, Jewish-cultural structures and their relationship to the larger non-Jewish world. As such, they see the subject rightly as a vital and underexplored area of study. Doing Business in America: A Jewish History, edited by Hasia R. Diner, rises to the challenge of taking on the long-unspoken taboo subject, comprising leading scholars and exploring an array of key topics in this important and growing area of research. 517 $aDoing Business in America 606 $aSocial & cultural history$2bicssc 610 $aSocial & cultural history 615 7$aSocial & cultural history 700 $aDiner$b Hasia R$4edt$0458823 702 $aDiner$b Hasia R$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910624345203321 996 $aDoing Business in America$93020781 997 $aUNINA
