This Was America, 1865-1965 : Unequal Citizens in the Segregated Republic Hardback
by Gerd Korman
Part of the North American Jewish Studies series
Hardback
Description
By examining Jewish experiences between the American Civil War and the African American Civil Rights Revolution, this book focuses on citizens who usually spent their daily lives in Black and white “peoplehoods.†Some of the white ones, commanding the nation’s “public square,†structured a segregated republic and capitalist economy that would experience WWII and the news about the Holocaust that murdered millions of Jews.
This political economy sustained a hierarchy of privatized ethnic groups whose race and religion, in their norms of “ethnicking,†was used to deprive them of legal and equal collective standing. This Was America is a book about those privatized identities that the years of the Civil Rights Revolution would bring into the republic’s public square.
