Catalog description

Explores the social, political, economic, religious, and cultural development of Jewish life in America from the middle of the seventeenth century through the present and also explores the impact of America—its culture, social structure, economic profile, and place in the world—upon the Jews who lived there. Also asks how the Jewish experience did or did not differ from that of others in a diverse America and from that of Jews in other places.
