| Troubling the Waters: Black-Jewish Relations in the American Century. By Cheryl Lynn Greenberg. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2006. xiv, 351 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-691-05865-2.)

| In Troubling the Waters, Cheryl Lynn Greenberg provides a thought-provoking study of this significant subject. She examines that relationship as it evolved from one in which each group confronted discrimination independently to one in which each overcame suspicions of the other and forged a workable, sometimes fragile coalition that culminated during the civil rights movement. She then dissects the reasons for the collapse of that partnership and expresses hope for a new, broader coalition that would be different, yet embrace liberal values of "spacious self-interest" (p. 253): a rainbow coalition committed to inclusiveness, security, and equality for all. |
