To what extent were Jewish immigrants in the South acculturated to Southern identity and customs? Anton Hieke discusses the experience of Jewish immigrants in the Reconstruction South as exemplified by Georgia and the Carolinas. The book critically explores the shifting identities of German Jewish immigrants, their impact on congregational life, and of their identity as 'Southerners'. The author draws from demographic data of six thousand individuals representing the complete identifiable Jewish minority in Georgia, South and North Carolina from 1860 to 1880. Reconstruction, it is concluded, has to be seen as a formative period for the region's Jewish congregations and Reform Judaism. The study challenges existing views that are claiming German Jews were setting the standard for Jewish life in this period and were perceived as distinct from Jews of another background. Rather Hieke arrives at a conclusion that takes into consideration the migratory movement between North and South. 606 $aJews$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aJews$zSouthern States$xIdentity 606 $aJudaism$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 610 $aCarolina. 610 $aGeorgia. 610 $aIdentity. 610 $aIntegration. 610 $aJewish Immigration. 610 $aUSA. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 676 $a975.00492/4 686 $aNY 4900$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aHieke$b Anton$01654084 701 $aWilhelm$b Cornelia$f1964-$01594580 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821593703321 996 $aJewish identity in the reconstruction South$94005695 997 $aUNINA
