The Great Kosher Meat War of 1902
Jim Crow Capital
Mary-Elizabeth B. Murphy's Jim Crow Capital is in some ways a groundbreaking study of early twentieth-century black women's activism in the nation's capital that extends the scope of the modern “long civil rights movement.” It also further demonstrates the presence of a civil rights movement before the civil rights movement, as well as how this early political organizing among African American women not only included but in many ways also centere…
Ambivalent Embrace
The entry of American Jews into the American middle-class mainstream during the post–World War II decades has traditionally been presented as an unequivocal triumph. Yet Rachel Kranson's Ambivalent Embrace suggests that this view was not so universal as assumed, adding a different voice to the growing chorus of accounts of American Jewry in the immediate postwar period. This slim volume, which includes a brief chapter about the era's younger gene…
Industry or Holy Vocation? When Shehitah and Kashrut Entered the Public Sphere in the United States during the Age of Reform
Long before the Agriprocessors scandal, the question of whether secular law and social concerns should shape the halakhah surrounding kosher meat production has been a live issue in the United States. In the 1890s, a critical mass of Orthodox Jewish immigrants gave rise to a more commercialized kosher meat industry, which raised the question of how much rabbinic legislation concerning kashrut could stay untouched by civil or union regulation. Alt…
A Perfect Fit
At first glance, A Perfect Fit appears to be something of an oxymoron—an academic coffee-table book. This multiessay volume, coedited by Gabriel M. Goldstein and Elizabeth E. Greenberg, and published as part of the Costume Society of America series of Texas Tech University Press and as a Yeshiva University Museum publication, was created as a companion volume to the long-closed exhibit of the same name that had been on display at the Yeshiva Univ…
Writing the Worlds of Our Fathers and Mothers
American Jewish labor history stands out as a place where labor, immigration, Jewish, and other specialties meet and interact – often uneasily. The changing fortunes of this area of study have not always coincided with those of American Jewish history, which was established as a field well in advance of the rise of the new social history. As a result, American Jewish labor history became marginalized just as American Jewish history as a field had…

Loved Labor’s Losses
The years immediately following World War II were ones of far‐reaching fear in American society and politics that resulted from chilling relations with the then Soviet Union and the fear of the international and domestic spread of Communism. To deal with the Communist threat, perceived, and actual the American government stepped‐up an earlier anti‐Communist crusade that soon permanently took on the name McCarthyism after its most feared proponent…
