Jewish Identity Project

New American Photography

While American Jews are commonly considered a homogeneous ethnic group, the reality today is far more complex. Conversion, adoption, intermarriage and immigration, have transformed the fabric of Jewish communities, as they have the United States as a nation. This fascinating book explores questions of American Jewish identity and how Jews fit today into larger discourses of race, ethnicity and religion. Featuring ten photographic and video projects by emerging and mid-career artists, all commissioned by The Jewish Museum, the book presents a range of provocative discussions of the nature of Jewish identity in 21st-century America.
