Jews Across the Americas

"

Adrianna Brodsky and Laura Leibman have assembled a valuable anthology of diverse sources

that will surprise and reward all who are interested in the history of Jews in the Americas. The

introductions contextualizing each original document are wonderful gems, mini history lessons

of the era and specific situation coupled with thematic discussions of race, gender, sexuality, and

Jewishness. Designed as a supplement to typical courses on American Jewish history, Jews

Across the Americas provides a rich resource for scholars and students alike.

"

Rich with visual materials, Jews Across the Americas contains primary sources from South

America, North America, and the Caribbean. Collectively, they widen our vision of the diversity

of Jewish life on this side of the Atlantic. With excellent introductions to each source and

questions to spark discussion, this is a stellar contribution to the teaching of modern Jewish

history.

" ~Pamela S. Nadell, author of America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today

"Jews Across the Americas is a groundbreaking sourcebook capturing the historical diversity and cultural breadth of American Jews across Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, and the United States." ~Jewish Book Council
