What reading level is Readings in Social Problems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the end has been and is being attained, we have the bio- graphical testimony of Jacob Riis, of Steiner, and of Mary Antin a Dane and two Jews, intermarried, assimilated even in reli- gion, and more excessively and self-consciously American than the Americans. And another Jew, Mr. Israel Zangwill, of Lon- don, profitably promulgates it as a principle and an aspiration, to the admiring approval of American audiences, under the device, " the melting pot. " ASSIMILATION OF THE IMMIGRANT 351 Al...l is not, however, fact, because it is hope ; nor is the biography of an individual, particularly of a literary individual, the history of a group. The Riises and Steiners and Antins protest too much, they are too self-conscious and self -centered, their "Americani- zation " appears too much like an achievement, a tour de force, too little like a growth. As for Zangwill, at best he is the obverse of Dickens, at worst he is a Jew making a special plea. It is the work of the Americanized writers that is really significant, and in that one senses, underneath the excellent writing, a dualism and the strain to overcome it.
