Recorded live at the Miami Book Fair, this episode features award-winning historian Pamela S. Nadell, director of the Jewish Studies Program at American University, about her new book, Antisemitism, an American Tradition. Nadell addresses the dark history of how antisemitic hate threaded across the American past from colonial times to today, uncovering centuries of prejudice — but also Jewish perseverance — in America.
