Abstract:

In Contemporary Jewry 4/2, 60-76. Are Jews "marginal to the power structure of the United States," part of a "small parallel, upper class," or have they crossed over into the larger, formerly WASPish, ruling class? This study of Greensboro, North Carolina advances some tentative answers to these questions.
