- Summary:
- Drawing on her earlier work on Jews and whiteness, Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz exposes and challenges common assumptions about who and what Jews are by presenting, in their own voices, Jews of color, arguing that Jews are an increasingly multiracial people--a fact that, if acknowledged and embraced, could foster cross-race solidarity to help combat racism.
