Product Review
"This anthology of original essays is the most recent addition to the widening body of work on the history of the Jewish South, a neglected area of research until about thirty years ago. This collection covers an extensive chronology, from the first Jewish settlers in the South in the 1730s up to the present day, and debates what it means to be both Southern and Jewish. The book serves the dual purpose of offering an introduction to the field and furthering discussion of the Southern Jewish experience in the United States."--Library Journal
"The anthology provides thirteen fascinating articles on a variety of topics including southern Jewish women writers, African American-Jewish relations, Jewish peddlers, Jewish Confederates, and the blossoming of Reform Judaism in the region. The book will delight erudite scholars and 'snowbirds' who go 'south' to escape the cold weather and would like to learn how Jews shaped the region."--Jewish Book World
"An area of history long neglected . . . this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the American Jewish experience."--Virginia Jewish Life
"Jewish Roots in Southern Soil now stands as the best one-volume treatment of the history of Jews in the American South. The thirteen essays, foreword, and great introduction are well written, engaging, and informative. The methodologically diverse approaches enliven the volume without rendering it overly eclectic. The editors Marcie Cohen Ferris and Mark I. Greenberg have collected representative, top-rate scholarship that is sophisticated enough for academics while remaining accessible for undergraduate students."--Journal of American Ethnic History
Product Review
"With Jewish Roots in Southern Soil, the history of Jews in the South has finally come of age. Boldly asserting the power of place, it demonstrates Southern Jews negotiating complicated identities across time and space. The result, these essays masterfully convince, is a claim for this particular and unique American identity." (Pamela S. Nadell, Professor of History, American University )
Reader Reviews
A wonderful account of the long and proud history of Jewish families in the Old South, going back to pre-Revolutionary days. Jews fought in the American Revolution, played a prominent role in the Confederacy and its armed forces, and were Southern through and through. I especially appreciated the stories about my family, the Moses' of Georgia and South Carolina. [...]
