Hardcover First Ed. This text is a story of the Jews who didn't move to the suburbs or strike it rich but who, in the words of Eugene V. Debs, wanted to rise with their class, not from it - the ones who led the Bund's efforts at self-defense against the Russian Black Hundreds and who organized the garment unions on New York's Lower East Side.

Useful for communication, symbols nevertheless place limits on how we think and even act. How, then, can we overcome the limitations of the symbols Western society has imposed on us? How can we discover new paths to clarity and enlightenment? In this cross~cultural study, James Powell reveals in text and illustrations how people all over the world have attempted to emancipate their thought. Citing Zen Buddhism, the Druids, T. S. Eliot, Saint John of the Cross, sacred writings of India, Chinese seers, the Hopi Indians, and other diverse examples, he shows how poetry, prayer, meditation, questioning, and other techniques may be used to transcend the confines of the symbolism imposed by one's particular culture. He reaches back into our historical and cultural past to illuminate the deeper meanings of ancient Ice Age cave paintings, Stonehenge, the idea of a Cosmic Axis, and the development of scientific thought. Powell's work follows in the fine tradition established by his contemporaries: Capra, Campbell, Zukav, and others; and the delightful essay ''Teaching a Stone to Talk," by Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dilliard, makes a fine introduction to the joys of communicatin g without the restrictions of language. The fifty~seven illustrations, from around the world, demonstrate that communication overcomes linguistic and cultural barriers and gives rise to the "harmony of deep communion ~ to genuine giving and receiving.".
