DESCRIPTION:In his new book, Marc Dollinger charts the transformation of American 
 Jewish political culture from the Cold War liberal consensus of the early 
 postwar years to the rise and influence of Black Power-inspired ethnic 
 nationalism. He shows how, in a period best known for the rise of black 
 anti-Semitism and the breakdown of the black-Jewish alliance, black 
 nationalists enabled Jewish activists to devise a new Judeo-centered 
 political agenda-including the emancipation of Soviet Jews, the rise of 
 Jewish day schools, the revitalization of worship services with 
 gender-inclusive liturgy, and the birth of a new form of American 
 Zionism.\n\nUndermining widely-held beliefs about the black-Jewish 
 alliance, Dollinger describes a new political consensus, based on identity 
 politics, that drew blacks and Jews together and altered the course of 
 American liberalism.\n\nMarc Dollinger is the author of "Quest for 
 Inclusion: Jews and Liberalism in Modern America," and co-editor of 
 "California Jews and American Jewish History: A Primary Source Reader." He 
 holds the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Chair in Jewish Studies and Social 
 Responsibility at San Francisco State University.\n\n"Dollinger's 
 illuminating book illustrates that many American Jewish leaders were not 
 only sympathetic to Black Power but were supportive of it. Dollinger shows 
 that the American Jewish turn toward issues of Jewish continuity owes a 
 great debt to the Black Power movement and that Jewish leaders understood 
 that early on. This book will significantly change how we view the American 
 Jewish 1960s and their aftermath." \n Shaul Magid, Indiana University,

 price includes a copy of the book.\n\n$28 General Public (includes book) |
