From Nationality to Peoplehood

Jewish migrants from Eastern Europe have been the paradigmatic case of successful assimilators in many Western countries. They have actively identified with the nationality and culture in points of settlement, had little propensity to return to the country of origin, and overcame discrimination to attain levels of educational, economic, and cultural prominence exceeding those of the native-born elite. While identifying with the host society, Jewish migrants have at the same time retained political, familial, residential, religious, and cultural characteristics that distinguish them from other middleclass members of the host society (Glazer and Moynihan; Lipset; Sowell; Steinberg; Gold and Phillips, “Mobility”; Hyman; Waterman and Kosmin)
