Jews Against Prejudice: American Jews and the Fight for Civil Liberties Hardcover - 1997
by Stuart Svonkin
Historian Stuart Svonkin delves into long-concealed archives of America's major Jewish defense groups to offer the first comprehensive account of organized Jewish political activism against bigotry and for human rights since 1945. This absorbing story of a courageous campaign for tolerance is a landmark addition to the literature on Jews in U.S. history.
From the rear cover
Set against the backdrop of some of twentieth-century America's most divisive issues - bigotry, anticommunism, and cultural survival - Jews Against Prejudice traces the political evolution of Jewish defense organizations from their initial incarnations as groups concerned primarily with defending American Jews against the virulent anti-Semitism of the 1920s and 1930s to their leading role in the fight against all forms of prejudice during the middle-half of this century. The absorbing story of American Jewry's courageous campaign for tolerance - and the shifting conceptions of prejudice that drove it - is a landmark addition to the literature on civil rights in U.S. history.
