Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A must-read for anyone interested in the history of civil rights, the roles and varied motivations of southern Jews in the movement, the interaction of blacks and Jews, the role of hate-groups and the anti-communist hysteria in silencing or harassing the forces of positive change, and the specific place of Miami, Miami Beach, and Florida in the struggle. Raymond Mohl's writing style is dynamic and fully accessible for the lay as well as scholarly audience that I expect this work will attract."

Reseña del editor:

Using unusual and revealing primary materials from the careers of two remarkable Jewish women, Raymond Mohl offers an interpretation of the role of Jewish civil rights activists in promoting racial change in post-World War II Miami. He sees grassroots action as the engine that drove racial change.
