Ordeal of Civility: Freud, Marx, Levi-Strauss, and the Jewish Struggle With Modernity
The struggle, according to Cuddihy, is between the Gentile "host culture/etiquette" that the Jew tries to integrate and his tough, loving community (Yiddishkeit), which is the subject of their "unconsummated social courtship of Gentile and Jew." Cuddihy refers to it as a decolonized people's trauma of culture shock.
