Description

Daughters of Israel, Daughters of the South examines southern Jewish womanhood all through the Antebellum and Civil War eras. In an overwhelmingly Protestant South, Jewish girls created and maintained distinctive American Jewish identities thru their efforts in education, writing, non secular observance, paid and unpaid labor, and relationships with Christian whites and enslaved African-American citizens. This book examines how southern Jewish girls fought proselytization thru their non secular convictions, challenged anti-Semitism the use of private and non-private writing, maintained a particular southern Judaism, promoted their very own status and legitimacy as southerners, and worked diligently as Confederate ambassadors.
