Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 8^-12. Part of the African American Experience series, this is an objective, detailed overview of the relations between Blacks and Jews in the U.S. through history. As in Latinas (1995), Garza draws on a wide range of excellent, fully-documented sources. She shows that both groups have suffered racism and both have fought against it for themselves and for each other. She's candid about prejudice in the country today, including the blame-the-victim backlash and anti-Semitism; she also shows how leaders and ordinary people throughout history have resisted bigotry. The chapter on the civil rights movement is especially eloquent. There are black-and-white photos throughout. The moving frontispiece picture shows Jewish American Mickey Schwerner and "two African American" volunteers to the Freedom Summer campaign; it seems strange that only the white person is identified by name.
