Chicago: Research Institute for Group Work in Jewish Agencies in cooperation with The American Jewish Committee, (1965). 8vo. vii. 264pp. Paper. Head of spine slightly rubbed, small tear on tail of spine and back cover. Covers and edges slightly stained and soiled. Volume 2 of a series published by the Jewish Group Life Research Publications Program under the general editorship of Dr. Irving Canter, Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work and Jewish Community Centers of Chicago. "This publication is based on doctoral work undertaken by Dr. Jack Rothman at Columbia University." "It is rare for people today to advocate the retention of minority status in order to preserve one's minority culture. Among Jews, there has been a continuation of the idea that a strong identification with a Jewish culture will make an individual more suitable for participation in American Society and that will have the additional merit of protecting him from such shock as may come from continuing anti-Jewish or future anti-Jewish behavior. One such advocate was Dr. Kurt Lewin. ... Jack Rothman's careful and wise interpretation of this entire area is well presented in this volume." Numerous tables and figures throughout the book. Overall very good condition. vg. Item #10536
