![]() | Just and Righteous Causes: Rabbi Ira Sanders and the Fight for Racial and Social Justice in Arkansas, 1926-1963 Subjects: Sanders Ira E.; Rabbis -- Arkansas -- Biography; African Americans -- Relations with Jews -- History; African Americans -- Civil rights -- Arkansas -- History -- 20th century; Arkansas -- Biography; Winner, 2019 Booker Worthen Prize from the Central Arkansas Library System. Just and Righteous Causes --a full biographical study of this bold social-activist rabbi--examines how Sanders expertly navigated the intersections of race, religion, and gender to advocate for a more just society. It joins a growing body of literature about the lives and histories of Southern rabbis, deftly balancing scholarly and narrative tones to provide a personal look into the complicated position of the Southern rabbi and the Jewish community throughout the political struggles of the twentieth-century South.
