| Summary: | A leading scholar of both the Holocaust and the American Jewish experience, Deborah E. Lipstadt has written a volume that delves into the nexus between the two. Holocaust: An American Understanding employs a transnational approach to reflect on both historical narratives and historiographic debates, offering a variety of insights about the “American-ness” of what otherwise appears to be a European story. In doing so, she tackles a variety of disciplines, guiding her readers through sections devoted to how developments in history, literature, theology, political science, and sociology all coalesced into a complex American narrative of the Holocaust., Lipstadt frames seventy years of academic, cultural, and popular understandings of the Holocaust through an Americanist lens. |
