How did Jewish voters become part of the changing story of American politics?
In Jews and American Politics, Professor Jonathan D. Sarna traces Jewish political participation through four recorded lectures. Moving from Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War era through the politics of Grant, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, and the FDR coalition, the series examines changing relationships between Jewish voters, presidential leadership, and political parties.
Presented as the inaugural Sidney and Miriam Brettler Memorial Series 5777, these lectures place the Jewish vote within its historical setting and explore the developments that helped shape Jewish participation in American public life.
