Sixteen senior scholars of American Jewish history- among the men
and women whose work and advocacy have moved their discipline into
the mainstream of academia - converse on the intellectual and
personal roads they have traveled in becoming leaders in their
areas of expertise. Through their thoughtful and candid
recollections of the challenges they faced in becoming accepted
academics, they retell the story of how the study of the Jews and
Judaism in the United States rose from being long dismissed as an
amateurish enterprise not worthy of serious consideration in the
world of ideas to its position today as a respected field in
communication with all humanities scholars. They also imagine and
chart the direction the writing on American Jews will take in the
coming era.
