Koffman.  aToronto :bUniversity of Toronto Press,c2020.  avii, 314 p.  aIncludes bibliographical references.  a"This book begins with an audacious and unanswerable question: Has there ever been a better home for Jews than Canada? By certain measures, Canada might be the most socially welcoming, economically secure, and religiously tolerant diaspora for the Jews, compared to all other countries, past or present. No Better Home? takes this question seriously, while also exploring the many contested meanings of the idea of "home." Contributors to the volume include leading scholars of Canadian Jewish life as well as eminent Jewish scholars writing about Canada for the first time. The essays compare Canadian Jewish life with the quality of life experienced by Jews in other countries; examine Jewish and non-Jewish interactions in Canada; analyse specific historical moments and literary texts; reflect deeply personal histories; and widen the conversation about the quality and timbre of the Canadian Jewish experience. No Better Home? foregrounds Canadian Jewish life and ponders all that the Canadian experience has to teach about Jewish modernity."-- 4aJews zCanada xSocial conditions. 4aJews zCanada xSocial life and customs. 4aJews zCanada xIdentity. 4aJews zCanada xIntellectual life. 4aCanadaxEthnic relations.1 aKoffman, David S.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oF1035.J5 N63 2020pPNLIB21060789r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c975d975
