Description
Summary:	Many of the Jewish emigrants who fled Eastern Europe in the late 1800s settled in New York City's Lower East Side, establishing a vital and colorful subculture populated by laborers, radicals, actors, poets, peddlers, journalists, and intellectuals. This dramatic narrative captures the community's torrent of ideological battles, the rise of organized labor in the garment industry, the growth of the Yiddish press and theater, and much more. "An exemplary account"-- The New York Times . 29 photographs.<br>
