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"
