Nora Faires and Nancy Hanflik. Jewish Life in the Industrial Promised Land, 1855–2005. East Lansing: Michigan State University Press, 2005. Pp. 240. Bibliography. Index. Notes. Photographs. Cloth, $29.95.

Not so long ago, local Jewish community histories were disdained by scholars as parochial and filiopietistic. As the study of regional American Jewish history has matured, however, local histories are appearing that while firmly anchored in the local setting keep the national context in clear view. Nora Faires and Nancy Hanflik's Jewish Life in the Industrial Promised Land, 1855–2005 is a fine addition to this literature.
