Riassunto:

Narrates the evolution of Jewish studies as an academic discipline within the history and sociology of higher education in America from the late 19th to the late 20th century. Discusses the circumstances behind the early appointments in Judaic studies at six leading universities, the tensions between university administrations and community sources of support, and the changing rationales for Jewish learning as Jewish studies programs burgeoned on American campuses.
