1 online resource (xiii, 211 pages)The history of Black-Jewish relations from the beginning of the twentieth century shows that, while they were sometimes partners of convenience, there was also a deep suspicion of each other that broke out into frequent public exchanges. The Ocean Hill-Brownsville Conflict explores this fraught relationship, which is evident in the intellectual lives of these communities. The tension was as apparent in the life and works of Marcus Garvey, Richard Wright, and James Baldwin as it was in the exchanges between blacks and Jews.In the first decades of the twentieth century -- From Franz Boas to Richard Wright -- The 1940s: impeded perceptions -- Liberalism and identity in post-war America -- The commentary factory -- What once was old is now new -- The radicalization of the civil rights movement -- What liberal alliance? the Ocean Hill-Brownsville conflict -- Conclusion: beyond Ocean Hill-Brownsville.Glen Anthony Harris.Includes bibliographical references and index.n-us-nyOcean Hill-Brownsville Demonstration School District (New York, N.Y.)Ocean Hill-Brownsville Demonstration School District (New York, N.Y.)African AmericansNew York (State)New YorkRelations with JewsNew York (N.Y.)Race relationsHistory20th centuryNew York (N.Y.)Social conditions20th centuryJewsNew York (State)New YorkSocial conditions20th centuryAfrican AmericansNew York (State)New YorkSocial conditions20th centuryAfrican AmericansEducationNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryJewsEducationNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryPublic schoolsNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryDiscrimination in educationNew York (State)New YorkRacism in educationNew York (State)New YorkEDUCATIONEssaysEDUCATIONOrganizations & InstitutionsEDUCATIONReferenceAfrican AmericansEducationAfrican AmericansRelations with JewsAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsDiscrimination in educationJewsEducationJewsSocial conditionsPublic schoolsRace relationsRacism in educationSocial conditionsNew York (State)New York 1900 - 1999 fast E184.36.A34 H37 2012eb370.89Harris, Glen Anthony, 1964-Lanham, Md. : Lexington Books, ©2012(DLC) 2012005917(OCoLC)77760235897807391760230739176021368938 MILhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=466771http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=466771N$T12073020200709055548.0ocn802262058eng
