Böcker av Deborah Dash Moore

"Explores the distinctive urban vision of working-class Jewish photographers in midcentury New York. The work of Jewish photographers at the New York Photo League not only created an archive of vernacular images of city streets but also a distinctive tradition of street photography"--

"This book reveals contemporary vernacular religion expressed in gay Catholic spirituality, Father Divine's International Peace Mission movement, and material culture"--

Explores Jewish participation in American cities and considers the implications of urban living for American Jews across three centuries. Looking at synagogues, streets, and snapshots, Deborah Dash Moore contends that key features of American Judaism can be understood as an imaginative product grounded in urban potentials.

Whether they came from Sioux Falls or the Bronx, over half a million Jews entered the U.S. armed forces during the Second World War. Deborah Dash Moore offers an unprecedented view of the struggles they faced, having to battle not only the enemy but also the prejudices of their fellow soldiers.
