Haunted in the New World
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haunted in the New World: Jewish American Culture from Cahan to The Goldbergs is a 2005 book by Donald Weber written as an overview of 20th century Jewish American literature and popular culture. Abraham Cahan was one of the most recognizable Jewish-American writers in both Yiddish and English. The Goldbergs began in 1929 as a radio comedy and drama about a Jewish-American family, and the show was initially targeted for Yiddish radio stations, but they made the leap first to CBS radio in 1936, and then to mass-market television in 1949, becoming a long-running situation comedy.
