The Turbulent Friendship

This article explores the current state of black-Jewish relations and assesses their prospects. It begins by critically examining the myths of the relationship's past. It then explores current evidence of each community's attitude toward the other, evaluating broad conclusions others have reached and offering a complex reading of mutual attitudes. It then proceeds to examine several factors critical to the relationship: socioeconomic trends, changes in political strength and representation, positions on important domestic and international issues, and developments in each group's culture and internal structure. Strengths and weaknesses in the current relationship are frankly assessed and observations offered on positive and negative developments that could take place in the future. Factors likely to determine future trends are identified. Throughout, a strong effort is made to present the views of both African Americans and Jews, including where they converge or differ and where further clarification and work is needed
