Part of the Jewish Encounters series The first general-interest biography of the legendary editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, the newspaper of Yiddish-speaking immigrants that inspired, educated, and entertained millions of readers; helped redefine journalism during its golden age; and transformed American culture. Already a noted journalist writing for both English-language and Yiddish newspapers, Abraham Cahan founded the Yiddish daily in New York City in 1897. Over the next fifty years he turned it into a national newspaper that changed American politics and earned him the adulation of millions of Jewish immigrants and the friendship of the greatest newspapermen of his day, from Lincoln Steffens to H. L. Mencken. Cahan did more than cover the news. He led revolutionary reforms—spreading social democracy, organizing labor unions, battling communism, and assimilating immigrant Jews into American society, most notably via his groundbreaking advice column, A Bintel Brief. Cahan was also a celebrated novelist whose works are read and studied to this day as brilliant examples of fiction that turned the immigrant narrative into an art form. Acclaimed journalist Seth Lipsky gives us the fascinating story of a man of profound contradictions: an avowed socialist who wrote fiction with transcendent sympathy for a wealthy manufacturer, an internationalist who turned against the anti-Zionism of the left, an assimilationist whose final battle was against religious apostasy. Lipsky’s Cahan is a prism through which to understand the paradoxes and transformations of the American Jewish experience. A towering newspaperman in the manner of Horace Greeley and Joseph Pulitzer, Abraham Cahan revolutionized our idea of what newspapers could accomplish. (With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations.)

One of Abraham Cahan's most famous works brings late 19th century Russia to life in this fictional autobiography.

"In Abraham Cahan, Sanford E. Marovitz relates in telling detail Cahan's rise from green newspaperman to discriminating novelist and shrewd editor of the daily Yiddish Forward. After a difficult start, Cahan, a founder of the Forward, edited the paper for nearly 50 years, bringing its circulation to an impressive quarter million during its heyday in the early 1920s. An ardent advocate of assimilation, Cahan saw the Forward as a means of acculturating newly arrived Jewish immigrants to America and helping them gain economic stability." "Although Cahan was first and last a newspaperman, he wrote what is still considered one of the best fictional accounts of the American immigrant experience: The Rise of David Levinsky. Written in English (as were all the novels and stories covered in Abraham Cahan) and published in 1917, the novel tells the story of the title character's rise from poor Hebrew scholar in Russia to successful businessman in America and of the psychological and spiritual price he pays for neglecting his emotional life. For this and other works of fiction - such as the Yekl, A Tale of the New York Ghetto (1896) and the short stories collected in The Imported Bridegroom (1898) - Cahan was both praised and criticized for his brutal realism. He populated his stories with flawed and often conflicted characters and spared his readers few of the grim details of existence in the Jewish ghetto." "Part of Cahan's motivation for writing fiction in English was to educate non-Jewish American readers about Jewish culture, history, and persecution in both the Old and New Worlds. His novel The White Terror and the Red (1905) particularly dramatized the violence Eastern European Jews suffered at the hands of czarist police. Another motivation for writing in English was to humanize Jews in the eyes of America's Gentiles, most of whom at that time perceived the Jewish people to be strangely different from themselves. Interestingly, in spite of Cahan's sympathies with the plight of his fellow Jews, he did not practice his religion, but embraced socialism and promoted it as a means to help Jewish immigrants achieve social and economic security."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
