Book launch: Imagining Early American Jews

About This Event

Professor Michael Hoberman (English Studies) will launch his new book, “Imagining Early American Jews” on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 3:30 p.m. at the Amelia V. Gallucci-Cirio Library. This event is free and open to the public.

In Imagining Early American Jews (Oxford University Press 2025), Michael Hoberman examines how the Jewish experiences of the American Revolution, slave-holding in the early republic and antebellum period, and westward migration have been imagined, commemorated and frequently mythologized. 

The book launch is sponsored by the Center for Faculty Scholarship, Amelia V. Gallucci-Cirio Library, and the English Studies Department
