Book Review

Jews and Gentiles in Early America, 1654–1800. By William Pencak. (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2005. xiv, 321 pp. $29.95, ISBN 978-0-472-11454-2.)

Those who assumed that little could be added to the history of colonial American Jewry after the full coverage provided in Jacob Rader Marcus's four-volume work (United States Jewry, 1776–1985, 1989–1993) will be pleasantly surprised by the many additions, corrections, and new insights in this book. William Pencak focuses on anti-Semitism as it affected Jewish communal life in five sizable towns on the eastern seaboard: Newport, Rhode Island; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Charleston, South Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia.
