Description: "Black Power, Jewish Politics expands with this revised edition that includes the controversial new preface, an additional chapter connecting the book's themes to the national reckoning on race, and a foreword by Jews of Color Initiative founder Ilana Kaufman that all reflect on Blacks, Jews, race, white supremacy, and the civil rights movement"--

Brief description: Ilana Kaufman is the Chief Executive Officer of the Jews of Color Initiative. Her work sits at the center of Jewish community, philanthropic strategy, racial equity, and justice, is anchored by the voices and experience of Jews of Color, and is focused on field building through grantmaking, research and field building, and community education.

Review Quotes: "Marc Dollinger's well-written and provocative work provides an innovative interpretation of the mythic story of the alliance between Jews and Blacks forged over the twentieth century and rent asunder in the post-civil rights era as a result of the rise of Black Power. As Dollinger persuasively argues, Black Power, rather than being 'bad for the Jews' was 'good for the Jews'"-- "Rebecca T. Alpert, Journal of American History"
