Rose Cohen. Out of the Shadow: A Russian Jewish Girlhood on the Lower East Side, with an Introduction by Thomas Dublin. (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1995). Pp. vii-313. Paper: $19.95. ISBN: 978-0-8014-8268-7.

From that point, the theme of the book is the cultural differences not only between two countries, but also between a strict Jewish culture and the more accepting religious tolerance of mainstream America. The book is an autobiography of the life of Rose Cohen, who moved from Russia to the New York's Lower East Side at the turn of the 20th century.
The author's specific thesis regarding this theme is that there is an inherent difficulty in a woman striving to account for these differences, and that as desirable as full assimilation into the cultures of a new land may be, it is exceedingly difficult to accomplish with so many ties to those of one's former land and religion.
The author includes no other source material within this work of literature other than her own recollections. As such, the degree of confidence that this unilateral perspective on the…

Indeed, even the most outspoken critics of law enforcement will likely be the first to dial "9-1-1" when their homes are being burglarized or members of their families are being attacked, but the fact remains that many police department remain primarily white and male in composition. The impetus for effecting substantive changes in the composition of the nation's police forces will therefore need to be mandated in order for

Culture is no small force; it shapes individuals and impacts tremendously on politics (McCartney, 2004). Nations are made up of people, who, from the moment of their birth, are deeply and profoundly shaped by the cultures and customs from whence they came (McCartney, 2004). Because history and culture are two such inseparable animals, it's worthwhile to take a brief look at the history of the Bahamas. Brief History Many history scholars believe
