The book critically examines the notion of America as a safe haven for Jews within the framework of a liberal state, challenging the social "contract" that underpins this idea. It highlights the insecurities faced by Jews, particularly women and Jewish women, in this context. Laura Levitt connects these issues to historical legacies of marriage as a form of contractual belonging, emphasizing the complexities of identity and acceptance in contemporary society.
