SoSe 19: The American Jewish Experience in the 20th Century
Kira Alvarez
Comments
The political and social history of the American Jewish community in the
twentieth century is complex and colorful, transcends the borders of the
United States, and thus leads to large historical perspectives. This
course aims to provide an overview of American Jewish history beginning in
the late 19th century, and ending at the beginning of the 21st century.
Did a distinctly American Jewish experience exist throughout the twentieth
century? How was this experience different from and similar to the history
of other religious, ethnic, and racial minorities in the U.S.? These
questions frame this survey course of the historiography of
twentieth-century American Jewry. A number of themes will be covered in
the semester including immigration, assimilation and acculturation,
Diaspora, cosmopolitanism and nationalism, race, ethnicity, gender, and
religion.
