| Fight against Fear: Southern Jews and Black Civil Rights Subjects: African Americans -- Southern States -- Relations with Jews; Jews -- Southern States -- History -- 20th century; African Americans -- Civil rights -- Southern States -- History -- 20th century; African Americans -- Segregation -- Southern States -- Histor; In the uneasily shared history of Jews and blacks in America, the struggle for civil rights in the South may be the least understood episode. Fight against Fear is the first book to focus on Jews and African Americans in that remarkable place and time. Mindful of both communities' precarious and contradictory standings in the South, Clive Webb tells a complex story of resistance and complicity, conviction and apathy. CLIVE WEBB is a lecturer in American history at the University of Sussex. |
