And I Will Dwell in Their Midst: Orthodox Jews in Suburbia

Rating:
Summary: Cheers for "Dwell"
Review: Etan Diamond provides a thought provoking in-depth analysis of the development of the Orthodox Jewish Community in North American suburbia. The author draws upon the experience in the Toronto community to show the transformation of the immigrant community to a fully integrated suburban community through synagogue development, youth organizations and consumer consumption of kosher products.

The text is well organized, easy to follow and provides the user with extensive footnotes for additional research opportunites. The depth of the research effort is quite impressive with the author taking advantage of the available public records in Canada that are not available in the United States concerning Jewish residents.

Readers with interest in the area will find this text to be a valuable addition to their collections.
