Despite being the archetypal diasporic people, modern Jews have most often been studied as citizens and subjects of single nation states and empires. Editors Ava F. Kahn and Adam D. Mendelsohn offer a new approach in Transnational Traditions as contributors use transnational and comparative methodologies to place American Jewry into a broader context of cultural, commercial, and social exchange.
