Speaking of Jews: Rabbis, Intellectuals, and the Creation of an American Public Identity (review)

81 January 2010, 3(1) ethnicity are absent from this volume. Given the historical tensions around Jewish Americans’ identification with “whiteness” and heavy Jewish involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, such a topic merits consideration in such a diverse anthology. However, this collection still serves as a well-rounded survey of contemporary discourse on American Jewish identity (or, identities), and serves as a snapshot of contemporary Jewish American discourse. Given the salience of the issues covered in this anthology, American Jewish Identity Politics has the potential to become an important touchstone for the next generation of Jewish Studies scholars and activists. Another major strength of this book is its accessibility to those outside of the realm of Jewish Studies. It has potential relevance for feminist activists and scholars, as well as for historians, sociologists and theologians engaged in issues of American Jewish identifications. I would strongly recommend this book not only to students new to the field of Jewish Studies, but also to scholars outside of Jewish Studies seeking to deepen their understanding of the intersectionality of identity politics in the contemporary United States.
