The Promise of Happiness

ilan is on page 14 of 240 of All About Love: New Visions
reading this out of spite a little bit and expecting that i won’t like it and admittedly i have talked shit on this book in the past when i only read short excerpts from it so i want to read the full thing. im open to my mind being changed but so far it’s sort of nothing

ilan is starting Working Toward Whiteness: How America's Immigrants Became White: the Strange Journey from Ellis Island to the Suburbs
i read the intro and first chapter for class but i def wanna finish it.

line that stuck out to me, about the assimilation of ashkenazi jewish immigrants to the US into whiteness:
“…to go from shtetl to WASP in less than a hundred years”
