Pamela Nadell in Conversation with her Students

Antisemitism, an American Tradition Book Launch

American University welcomes its award-winning Professor Pamela S. Nadell for a conversation about her timely and compelling new book Antisemitism, an American Tradition. In conversation with students, Nadell explores the deep roots of antisemitism in the U.S.—from colonial times to the present—and the powerful ways in which Jewish communities have resisted hatred and bigotry.

“This is the book that the world needs now, a bracing narrative of dark chapters from America’s past–history which continues to stalk the nation. Nadell writes with command and a detective’s sense for where buried episodes of antisemitism can be found.”
― Franklin Foer, author of

“A searching history of religious intolerance in putatively pluralist America. . . An urgent and provocative work on the history of hostility to American Jews.” ―
