Review Quotes: "
Adrianna Brodsky and Laura Leibman have assembled a valuable anthology of diverse sources
that will surprise and reward all who are interested in the history of Jews in the Americas. The
introductions contextualizing each original document are wonderful gems, mini history lessons
of the era and specific situation coupled with thematic discussions of race, gender, sexuality, and
Jewishness. Designed as a supplement to typical courses on American Jewish history, Jews
Across the Americas provides a rich resource for scholars and students alike.
