AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book is a study of the Hasidic people in the New York City area, particularly in the Williamsburg, Borough (Boro) Park, and Crown Heights sections of Brooklyn. Two other Hasidic communities discussed for comparative purposes in this document are Kiryas Joel, Orange County, N.Y., and New Square, Spring Valley, N.Y. The work deals extensively with Hasidic religious tenets and beliefs as well as family life, social organization, social change, conflict within the Hasidic community, relations with other ethnic groups (e.g., Blacks and Hispanics) in local-level politics, and their relationship to the American judicial system as a whole. 'This is a social history which examines the perspectives and cultural values revealed in the context of events and in life experiences' (p. 1).
