Prof. Mitchell Duneier

(Princeton University)

Ghetto: Invention of a place,
History of an idea.

 

Duneier traces the ghetto from its 16th-century origins—when the Jews of Venice, Italy were forced to live in il ghetto—to Nazi Germany and America today. Duneier shows how the idea of the ghetto has become unmoored from its history, and what that history has to offer today.
