Understanding the history of Jews in America requires a synthesis
of over 350 years of documents, social data, literature and
journalism, architecture, oratory, and debate, and each time that
history is observed, new questions are raised and new perspectives
found. This book presents a readable account of that history, with
an emphasis on migration patterns, social and religious life, and
political and economic affairs. It explains the long-range
development of American Jewry as the product of 'many new
beginnings' more than a direct evolution leading from early
colonial experiments to latter-day social patterns. This book also
shows that not all of American Jewish history has occurred on
American soil, arguing that Jews, more than most other Americans,
persist in assigning crucial importance to international issues.
This approach provides a fresh perspective that can open up the
practice of minority-history writing, so that the very concepts of
minority and majority should not be taken for granted.
