Recommended Readings from Yale University Press
In the last week two friends sent me articles of reviews of new publications from Yale University Press that are of note.
Jacob's legacy: A Genetic view of Jewish History by David A. Goldstein
Dan, my Massachusetts hospodar, called my attention to Jerome Groopman's review "Genes and Identity" in The New Republic of June 25, 2008, which presents a thoughtful discussion of Jewish genetic history. To read the review posted by Powell's books, click here.
ALFRED KAZIN: A BIOGRAPHY by RICHARD COOK
At the same time, my buddy Jeff also alerted me to a review by Edward Mendelson the Kazin bio in the New York Review of Books that discusses what it means to be a Jew in America or at least what Kazin meant by it.
Which I can't link to, but I recommend that you check out.
