Liberal Nimby
So far as black civil rights are concerned, most Jews behaved as liberals politically but as white people in their personal lives. Their experience reflects the dilemma of many white liberals in a nation where race has been inextricably tied not only to discrimination but therefore also to opportunity. To many, “white flight” connoted white racism. Yet for some who left, more than racism affected their decision. They recognized that black majorit…
Troubling the Waters
Was there ever really a black-Jewish alliance in twentieth-century America? And if there was, what happened to it? In Troubling the Waters , Cheryl Greenberg answers these questions more definitively than they have ever been answered before, drawing the richest portrait yet of what was less an alliance than a tumultuous political engagement--but one that energized the civil rights revolution, shaped the agenda of liberalism, and affected the cour…
To Ask for an Equal Chance
The Great Depression hit Americans hard, but none harder than African Americans and the working poor. To Ask for an Equal Chance explores black experiences during this period and the intertwined challenges posed by race and class. "Last hired, first fired," black workers lost their jobs at twice the rate of whites, and faced greater obstacles in their search for economic security. Black workers, who were generally urban newcomers, impoverished an…

“Or Does It Explode”

Racism created and perpetuated Harlem’s poverty, yet segregation and discrimination also produced strong social and political networks that served not only to meet immediate needs, but to mobilise thousands to demand a better life. In this extensively researched…
