Synopsis

The Jews: A Study of Race and Environment is a book written by Maurice Fishberg, a Jewish-American physician and anthropologist, that explores the history, culture, and physical characteristics of the Jewish people. The book is divided into several sections, each of which examines a different aspect of Jewish life, including their origins, religion, language, customs, and physical features.Fishberg's study is based on extensive research, including interviews with Jewish communities around the world, as well as scientific measurements of physical characteristics such as skull size and facial features. He also explores the impact of environmental factors, such as diet and climate, on the physical and cultural development of the Jewish people.Throughout the book, Fishberg argues that the Jewish people are a distinct race with unique physical and cultural traits, and that these traits have been shaped by their historical experiences and the environments in which they have lived. He also discusses the challenges faced by Jewish communities in different parts of the world, including discrimination, persecution, and assimilation.The Jews: A Study of Race and Environment was first published in 1911 and has since become a classic work in the field of Jewish anthropology. It is a fascinating and informative exploration of one of the world's oldest and most complex cultures, and offers valuable insights into the history and identity of the Jewish people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Excerpt from The Jews: A Study of Race and Environment

This volume is an attempt to present the results of anthropological, demographic, pathological, and sociological investigations of the Jews. Considering that one-fifth of all the Jews in the world live at present in English-speaking countries, and that the migrations of Eastern European Jews tend toward the United States and England with its colonies, I believe I need not apologize for claiming attention to this subject. The facts presented are not available in any book, and it may safely be declared that the whole world is interested in the subject of the Jews as a race, and the getting into closer touch with the ethnic relations of the Jews. Moreover, the perennial problem, whether it is possible to assimilate the vast number of Southern and Eastern immigrants to the United States and British colonies has been applied more to the Jews than to any other white people. It has even been questioned whether there is ever a probability of incorporating the Jews into the body politic of Anglo-Saxon communities.

That anthropology only is competent to answer this question is agreed. Yet there is no book in English treating of the race traits of the Jews. The literature on the subject in English consists mostly of investigations by special parliamentary commissions, containing opinions of statesmen, social workers, educators, etc. It appears that the prevailing opinion is that the Jews, alleged to have maintained themselves in absolute racial purity for three or four thousand years, may prove hard to assimilate.
