Abstract
This article advocates the integration of Southern Jewish history into the mainstream study of Southern and American history and religion. It argues that such integration provides greater breadth and depth to those fields as well as a fruitful model for comparison and contrast. This article also provides reference to some of the necessary resources to scholars in other fields and brings the readers’ attention especially to a new publication for that purpose: Dixie Diaspora: An Anthology of Southern Jewish History.
