Description

Your opportunity to dedicate an upcoming JPS title in honor of or in the memory of friends or family. If the reserve price is not met, the highest bidder will have the opportunity to share in the dedication of this title.

This over-sized volume is a graphic history that uses the comic book format--an artistic expression as American as jazz--to depict five centuries of Jewish life in this country. With its blend of humor, history, and old-fashioned sentimentality, David Gantz, an artist who has spent a lifetime using paper and ink to present social commentary and issues with a wry wit, illustrates the prominence of Jews in American history from the time Columbus first set foot in the New World. Jews in America will appeal to readers from ages 12 to 120.
