| Abstract | From the conclusion: "The case of Jewish immigrants in Chicago illustrates that for Jewish immigrants in mid-nineteenth-century America the concept of Germanness must be analyzed on several different levels. . . . The term 'German Jews' should, therefore, be used cautiously. The case studies indicate that 'Germanness',' 'Jewishness,' and 'Americanness' were closely related." |
