Overview
Set against the backdrop of some of twentieth-century America's most divisive issues - bigotry, anticommunism, and cultural survival - Jews Against Prejudice traces the political evolution of Jewish defense organizations from their initial incarnations as groups concerned primarily with defending American Jews against the virulent anti-Semitism of the 1920s and 1930s to their leading role in the fight against all forms of prejudice during the middle-half of this century. The absorbing story of American Jewry's courageous campaign for tolerance - and the shifting conceptions of prejudice that drove it - is a landmark addition to the literature on civil rights in U.S. history.
