The Jewish Oregon Story, 1950-2010

Beschreibung

Traces the history of diverse Jewish Oregonians and their communities during a period of dramatic change. Drawing on archival sources, including a collection of over five hundred oral histories, the book explores how Jewish Oregonians both contributed to and were shaped by the “Oregon Story”, a political shift that fueled Oregon’s emerging reputation for progressivism and sustainability.
