Join the Jewish Heritage Center for a topical webinar with Dr. Michael Hoberman on his book, “Imagining Early American Jews.”
Dr. Hoberman will discuss popular interpretations of early Jewish American history, looking closely at contemporary historical novels, museum curation, and genealogy as modes of historical inquiry.
He will examine how the Jewish experiences of the American Revolution, the institution of slavery in the early republic and antebellum period, and westward migration have been imagined, commemorated, and frequently mythologized. Dr. Hoberman will offer a timely and original talk to explore how interpretations and representations of the past are key to understanding Jewish American history and identity.
