Product Description
Here is a moving history of the Jewish effort to achieve religious freedom and freedom from minority discrimination in the United States. A detailed examination of the sources and development of anti-Semitism, it is also a sweeping narrative of efforts to confront that disease from the colonial era to the present. Focusing on the development of familiar stereotypes of Jews, racist pseudo-science, and other varieties of endemic anti-Semitism, Belth also describes the efforts of the Jewish community to combat it, and the impact of two world wars, the Holocaust, and the post-war establishment of Israel in the struggle against anti-Semitism.
