Editorial Reviews

Review

"In a clear and cogent introduction Sarna sets down the key themes of the American Jewish experience, showing how American Jews grappled with the dilemma of synthesizing their Jewish and American identities and remaining committed to Jewish survival in a culturally pluralistic society at the same time that they moved to embrace the promises of the American dream." -- Journal of American Ethnic History

From the Back Cover

THE AMERICAN JEWISH EXPERIENCE presents a range of the liveliest, most informative writing on Jews in America from colonial times to the present. This revised and expanded edition of the popular reader contains nine new selections and continues to explore traditional areas as well as topics of current interest such as Jewish women in American society and Jews in American popular culture. Each selection is preceded by a headnote that provides the essay's historical context and contemporary relevance, and extensively annotated bibliographies follow each section.
