- Seven key themes emerge across this hemispheric history:
- a moving center
- antisemitism
- Jewish diversity
- the rise of a trans-regional Jewish community
- the Americanization of Jewish practice
- shifting stories of Jewish gender and sexuality, and
- the problems of national belonging
- This volume provides a large range of sources that reveal the methodological diversity within the field of American Jewish history.
- This book is deliberately polyphonic.
- Each entry answers the following questions:
- what is the original context of this work?
- What does the source contribute to local Jewish history or history of the era?
- What does it add to the story of American Jewish history more broadly across time and space?
- The goal of this book’s format is to help you, the student, not just read history but do history.
