[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Newly arrived in New York in 1882 from Tsarist Russia, the sixteen-year-old Bernard Weinstein discovered an America in which unionism, socialism, and anarchism were very much in the air. He found a home in the tenements of New York and for the next fifty years he devoted his life to the struggles of fellow Jewish workers.  The Jewish Unions in America blends memoir and history to chronicle this time. The book paints a vivid picture of workers' organizations at the beginning of the twentieth century and a capitalist system that bred exploitation, poverty, and inequality. It is not only a testament to the struggles of working people one hundred years ago, but also a reminder that workers must still battle to live decent lives in the free market.  For the first time, Maurice Wolfthal's readable translation makes Weinstein's Yiddish text available to English readers. This is an essential book for students and scholars of labour history, Jewish history, and the history of American immigration."]
