Preferred term
Jewish Americans
Definition
- Jewish Americans, once distinguishable as an ethno-religious group of immigrants from primarily European ghetto communities, initially sought out social and economic niches at the periphery of urban American society. They have since found success in shaping certain critical moments in social activism, the criminal underworld, and urban culture more broadly.
