Produktbeschreibung

In Struggles in the Promised Land, editors Jack Salzman and Cornel West bring together twenty-one illuminating essays that fill precisely this absence. As Salzman makes clear in his introduction, the purpose of this collection is not to offer quick fixes to the present crisis but to provide a clarifying historical framework from which lasting solutions may emerge.

---

Salzman and West have assembled a team of renowned scholars and writers to offer that which has been absent in many recent heated debates on the state of black-Jewish relations: comprehension of the actual history of the relationship between black and Jews, and reasoned discussion of the issues that currently divide the two groups, including affirmative action and Zionism.
