Antisemitism in America

Zusatztext Dinnerstein has delved into a number of differenct disciplines! including theology! psychology and sociology. Equally impressive in scope is his use of original archival sources...following the dearth of Jacob Rader Marcus! Dinnerstien should rightfully inherit his title as the greatest living historian of American Jews. This book will no doubt become a benchmark for future historians. Informationen zum Autor Leonard Dinnerstein is Professor of History at the University of Arizona. His books include The Leo Frank Case, America and the Survivors of the Holocaust, and Natives and Strangers. Klappentext Dinnerstein's richly documented book traces American antisemitism from its roots in the dawn of the Christian era and the arrival of the first European settlers, through the 18th and 19th centuries, to its peak during World War II and its present day permutations. Zusammenfassung This is the first comprehensive history of antisemitism in America. Dinnerstein draws on an extraordinary number of sources and provides a cogently argued yet complex narrative for the history of this prejudice from its roots in Colonial America to the rantings of Henry Ford and present day prejudices.
