Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the political behavior of American Jews over six decades, highlighting their significant role in social reform movements like the New Deal and civil rights. While traditional explanations focus on religious beliefs, Marc Dollinger argues that these do not fully capture the Jewish political experience. He presents a comprehensive analysis of Jewish liberalism and its connection to the pursuit of a more tolerant and egalitarian society, driven by a desire for inclusion within the broader non-Jewish community from the 1930s to the mid-1970s.
