About this book
Congregations, newcomers and the struggle for civic rights organize Peter Wiernik's account of Jewish life in America. Published in 1912, it follows communities in Brazil, Surinam and the West Indies before giving greater space to the United States. The early chapters connect migration with trade, religious restrictions and the formation of synagogues, including the community at Recife and the first settlements in New Amsterdam.
Wiernik writes for a general reader and makes recent immigration essential to his account rather than leaving it to a brief conclusion. He treats communal institutions and material resources as conditions that helped later arrivals establish themselves. Individual lives also carry the history: a section on Benjamin follows his Louisiana legal career, political affiliations and role in the Confederacy. Readers interested in American Jewish history can examine how an author writing in 1912 understood the links between religious identity, settlement and public life.
