Jews in America

World Religions

“Matthew Schwartz’s new book Jews in America is quite disarming. Presented in an informal and eminently readable ‘question and answer’ style, Dr. Schwartz takes on the profound question of the arrival of Jews in America and chronicles how they have done over the last five centuries (from 1492 through 1980). Professor Schwartz’s vignettes demonstrate concretely how America has differed from Europe in her treatment of Jews, and how this difference has benefited both America and Jews.”
