Linking the personal and the historical:Linda Mack Schloff integrates oral accounts:diaries:letters:and autobiographies with original research and interpretation to present the little-known story of the Jewish experience in America's heartland. And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher uses the voices of four generations of Jewish women who settled in Minnesota:the Dakotas:Iowa:and Wisconsin to show how they transported and transformed their cultural and religious life in a region inhabited by few Jews.
As the wives of fur traders and homesteaders:storekeepers and professionals:they were the key link in creating Jewish homes and helping their families fit in&;often under harsh conditions. But in the process of becoming Jewish Americans:they also carved out new roles for themselves as jobholders:synagogue-builders:and social activists.
"And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher begins to fill a void in American Jewish history and admirably expands our access to the religious:cultural:and social lives of women in the middle of America and their contributions to the larger community." &;Nebraska History
"This book is a treat for all who are interested in the social:economic:and cultural history of Jews:women:and immigrants. Lavishly illustrated:it successfully combines historical insight with the diverse voices of the immigrants themselves as they reflect on the processes of shaping their lives in a new land." &;Paula Hyman:Lucy Moses Professor of Modern Jewish History:Yale University and author of Gender and Assimilation in Modern Jewish History: The Roles and Representation of Women
"And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher jolts simplistic images of Eastern immigrant ghettos and bedraggled pioneer mothers. Linda Schloff documents the many ways that women's labor:domestic religious practices:and public service knit Jewish communities in the Upper Midwest. We see how women adapted traditional practices in new social environments:transformed religious institutions:and stretched their own possibilities as women and as Jews. An engrossing entry into the connected histories of religion:place:and gender." &;Elizabeth Jameson:Associate Professor of History:University of New Mexico:co-editor of The Women's West:and contributor to Rachel Calof's Story: Jewish Homesteader on the Northern Plains
"Authoritative:authentic:and informative:this fine book adds forgotten voices to the American story. As a rabbi in the Upper Midwest for half a century:I enjoyed reading about families I know and seeing pictures of them and their forebears. Prairie dogs aren't kosher:but this book is because it is simply splendid." &;Bernard S. Raskas:Rabbi Emeritus:Temple of Aaron:St. Paul:and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Religious Studies:Macalester College

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
