Kann's Characters in His Book [Comrades and Chicken Ranchers] by Kenneth Kann PDF Summary

Book Description: List of characters in Kenneth Kann's 1993 book, Comrades and chicken ranchers. The book itself is a portrait of the Petaluma Jewish community from the early years of the century to the present day. Kenneth L. Kann interviewed more than two hundred residents, representing three generations of Jewish Americans. The picture that emerges from their testimony is of a wonderfully animated and fractious community. Its history blends many of the familiar themes of American Jewish life into a richly individual tapestry. In the first few decades of this century, many Jewish immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe wound up in Petaluma. This first generation of chicken farmers consisted largely of educated, often professional men and women; many were drawn to chicken farming as much by Marxist or Zionist beliefs in the dignity of labor as by economic necessity. They helped establish the particular character of a community, with its combination of arduous work and cultural aspiration. Most of the residents Kann interviewed are identified with fictional names. This list provides the names as given in the book, the page on which they first appear, and their real names, if identified. There is also a mostly unused column for additional comments.
