This collection of essays by historian Dinnerstein continues the theme of David Gerber's collection, Anti-Semitism in American History (Univ. of Illinois Pr., 1986). Nearly all of the essays are about 19th- and 20th-century U.S. anti-Semitism in various guises and locales. Dinnerstein is at his best when writing about particular events. Less incisive are his more broadly based theoretical essays. Perhaps because of his extensive work on anti-Semitism, Dinnerstein is less sanguine than other writers about the level of tolerance in U.S. society. He reports a very high level of anti-Semitic feeling among blacks, a disturbing note. For U.S. history and Judaica collections. Judith E. Endelman, Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Vill., Dearborn, Mich.
