Jeremiah’s Scribes
While all three of these books participate in the ongoing “transatlantic turn in early American literary studies in general” (Gould, 7), Meredith Neuman’s does an especially helpful job of reminding readers how closely intertwined the expressions “early American” and “early modern” are. While she places New England ministers’ sermons in the context of discursive practices in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, Karen Weyler and Philip Goul…
The Birth of Conservative Judaism
Michael R. Cohen argues that scholarship on new religious movements provides the best paradigm for understanding the forces that produced Conservative Judaism in the United States. Cohen applies this model by positing a key role for Solomon Schechter, the Romanian Jewish scholar who came to New York City via England to lead a revivified Jewish Theological Seminary of America (jts) in 1902. Cohen portrays Schechter as a charismatic figure who not …

A Jewish Feminine Mystique? Jewish Women in Postwar America
A Jewish Feminine Mystique? emerged from a conference organized by two graduate students, Rachel Kranson and Shira Kohn, assisted by their advisor Hasia R. Diner, the eminent historian of American Jews. The volume takes as its starting point, as did the conference, Betty Friedan's influential best seller, The Feminine Mystique (1963), inquiring how and if the postwar suburban world of women that she described applied to Jews. The editors acknowle…
An Ecological Approach to Addressing HIV/Aids in the African American Community
The disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on African Americans is a significant public health challenge. The complex constellation of individual, social, and environmental factors influencing transmission, require ecological solutions that recognize these multiple levels of influence and actively involve communities. This article describes the formation of a community-based coalition and highlights three initiatives it has undertaken in the areas o…

E-therapy as a Means for Addressing Barriers to Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Persons who are Deaf
Persons who are deaf face a number of challenges with regard to vulnerability for substance use disorders. Moreover, accessible treatment for this condition can be difficult to establish and maintain. The Deaf community may be one of the most disenfranchised groups in America in regard to appropriate access to substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment services. This article reviews findings related to substance use disorder and treatm…
Jewish Girls Coming of Age in America, 1860-1920
To write a history of American Jewish girlhood is no easy task. The subject cuts across diverse areas: gender, the history of youth, American studies, and Jewish history. It requires attention to class, race, religion, and ethnicity, since American Jews came from varied backgrounds in the years of extensive immigration from 1860 to 1920 and achieved widely divergent levels of economic prosperity. The historian also confronts the task of organizin…
The Empire of Early American Studies
scholars are currently questioning older histories of cartography that highlighted the development of more objective and complete understandings of the physical world in the early modern and modern periods and are emphasizing instead the socially constructed character of European maps and of European geographic ideas. Lastly, a topic: when early Americanists consider the scientific exploration of North America, many will think first of the eighte…
An Exploratory Study of Violence, Substance Abuse, Disability, and Gender
Using a random sample of 1,876 individuals with disabilities, this study examines relationships between victimization as a result of violence, substance abuse, disability, and gender. Multivariate analyses reveal that women with disabilities are more likely to be victims of substance abuserelated violence than are male counterparts. Some disability conditions such as disability onset, multiple disabilities and chronic pain – are significantly ass…

Alcohol Use, Ethnicity, and Disability
Previous research has consistently reported that alcohol consumption among the general population varies across cultural groups. However, studies investigating risk factors and drinking patterns of African-Americans and Caucasians with disabilities have been limited. The current study explored the factors of alcohol use among African-Americans and Caucasians with disabilities who were seeking rehabilitation services in three mid-western states of…
Policy Responses to Substance Abuse and Disability
Some groups within our society are at a greater risk for the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) than other groups are. People with disabilities or others with special needs are identified as high-risk groups. Although this reality is generally recognized by agencies serving these individuals, it is not always clear how an agency should respond to these needs. General substance abuse policies and procedures may not be appropriate fo…
