About this book

The ordeal says Cuddihy is the "unconsummated social courtship of Gentile and Jew " focused on the predicament of the Jew caught between his rough loving community (Yiddishkeit) and the Gentile "host culture/etiquette" that he wants to assimilate. Cuddihy calls it the trauma of culture shock for a decolonized people. National Book Award finalist (Philosophy) 1975.
