{"product_id":"unfinished-people-1","title":"Unfinished People","description":"Nearly three million Jews came to America from Eastern Europe between 1880 and the outbreak of World War I, filled with the hope of life in a new land. Within two generations, these newcomers settled and prospered in the densely populated Yiddish-speaking neighborhoods of New York City. Against this backdrop, Ruth Gay narrates their rarely told story—a unique and vibrant portrait of a people in their daily trials and rituals—bringing alive the vitality of the streets, markets, schools, synagogues, and tenement halls where a new version of America was invented in the 1920s and 1930s. An intimate, unforgettable account, Unfinished People is a singular act of expressing in words the richly textured lives of a resilient people. \"A touching and funny evocation...marvelous in its detail.... This is history as day-to-day living—irrevocable and unforgotten.\"—Alfred Kazin","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54251622007128,"sku":"9780393322408","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780393322408__676f851e0d49f.jpg?v=1741159907","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/unfinished-people-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
