| Abstract | "These writings represent the first collective attempt to reframe the study of colonial and early American Jewry within an Atlantic history paradigm. By departing from a national approach, this volume foregrounds the connectivity between Jews and other population groups in the realms of empires, trade, and slavery"--Provided by publisher" Provided by publisher. |
