Antisemitism, an American Tradition (Pamela S. Nadell)
Pamela S. Nadell traces the persistence of antisemitism in America from the arrival of Jews in New Amsterdam in 1654 to contemporary attacks.
About this episode
The book follows religious hostility, political discrimination and social exclusion through successive periods of American history.
It examines barriers to citizenship, education and employment alongside propaganda, conspiracy thinking and violence.
Nadell also follows Jewish responses to prejudice and the tension between lived discrimination and America’s promise of religious liberty.
Her history asks how antisemitism has endured and adapted within a country often understood as a refuge from persecution.
