Most Sephardim settled in New York  establishing the leading Judeo-Spanish community outside the Ottoman Empire. With their distinct languages  cultures  and rituals  Sephardim and Arab-speaking Mizrahim were not readily recognized as Jews by their Ashkenazic coreligionists. At the same time  they forged alliances outside Jewish circles with Hispanics and Arabs  with whom they shared significant cultural and linguistic ties. The failure among Ashkenazic Jews to recognize Sephardim and Mizrahim as fellow Jews continues today. More often than not  these Jewish communities are simply absent from portrayals of American Jewry. Drawing on primary sources such as the Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) press  archival documents  and oral histories  Sephardic Jews in America offers the first book-length academic treatment of their history in the United States  from 1654 to the present  focusing on the age of mass immigration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652248199221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0814799825","price":113.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780814799826.jpg?v=1781850280","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sephardic-jews-in-america-a-diasporic-history-9780814799826","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
