To the Other Shore

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on a pivotal era of immigration, the narrative explores the journey of Jewish intellectuals from the Russian Empire to the United States between 1881 and the early 1920s. Many members of this group, raised in Orthodox traditions, renounced their Jewish identities to embrace radical political ideologies from their homeland. As they became influential figures in the American labor movement and contributed to various radical publications, they maintained their secular Russian cultural identity and dedication to socialist principles.
