Musicals thus became a paradigm which instructed newcomers in how to assimilate while correspondingly envisioning "American Dream" America as democratic and inclusive. Broadway musicals still continue to function today as "cultural Ellis Islands" for fringe populations seeking acceptance into the nation‘s mainstream - including women, blacks, Latinos, and gays - all essentially modeled upon the Jewish example. Stuart J. Hecht offers a fascinatingexamination of the relationship between Jews, assimilation, and the changing face of the American musical. . | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | 20th century; America; assimilation; drama; Judaism; music; twentieth century | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137001740 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-29503-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-00174-0Series ISSN 2947-5767 Series E-ISSN 2947-5775 | issn_series | 2947-5767 | copyright | Stuart J.
