From the "American Historical Review," June 1999
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
"In this book, Seth Forman sets forth an intriguing argument. He contends that with the postwar decline of anti-Semitism, American Jews could not solely define themselves in terms of their victimization . . . In search of a new, or supplemental identity, Jews embraced the black civil rights struggle, but at the cost of trading their rich spiritual, ethnic heritage for the more hollow, assimilating civil religion of liberalism, rationality, and social/racial equality . . . scholarly in tone and well researched." Claude A. Clegg III, Indiana University, June 1999.
