Discover the compelling narrative of "Class, Networks, and Identity" by Rhonda F. Levine, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2001. This insightful book delves into the experiences of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany, who established themselves as key players in the cattle dealing industry in south central New York. Spanning 224 pages, Levine explores how these immigrants preserved their Jewish identity amidst predominantly Christian communities in small towns and villages.
