And if there was, what happened to it? In Troubling the Waters, Cheryl Greenberg answers these questions more definitively than they have ever been answered before, drawing the richest portrait yet of what was less an alliance than a tumultuous political engagement--but one that energized the civil rights revolution, shaped the agenda of liberalism, and affected the course of American politics as a whole. Drawing on extensive new research in the archives of organizations such as the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, Greenberg shows that a special black-Jewish political relationship did indeed exist, especially from the 1940's to the mid-1960's--its so-called "golden era"--and that this engagement galvanized and broadened the civil rights movement. But even during this heyday, she demonstrates, the black-Jewish relationship was anything but inevitable or untroubled. Rather, cooperation and conflict coexisted throughout, with tensions caused by economic clashes, ideological disagreements, Jewish racism, and black anti-Semitism, as well as differences in class and the intensity of discrimination faced by each group. These tensions make the rise of the relationship all the more surprising--and its decline easier to understand. Tracing the growth, peak, and deterioration of black-Jewish engagement over the course of the twentieth century, Greenberg shows that the history of this relationship is very much the history of American liberalism--neither as golden in its best years nor as absolute in its collapse as commonly thought.Politics and society in twentieth-century America.African AmericansRelations with JewsAfrican AmericansRelations with Jews.305.896/07300904Greenberg Cheryl Lynn1474276MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792405903321Troubling the waters3777882UNINA03284nam 22004695 450 991025496980332120200629122953.01-137-59348-210.1057/978-1-137-59348-1(CKB)3710000000869106(EBL)4716746(DE-He213)978-1-137-59348-1(MiAaPQ)EBC4716746(EXLCZ)99371000000086910620160920d2016 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierUnequal Partners American Foundations and Higher Education Development in Africa /by Fabrice Jaumont1st ed. 2016.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2016.1 online resource (185 p.)Philanthropy and EducationDescription based upon print version of record.1-137-59346-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.PART ONE: THE ECOLOGY OF U.S. FOUNDATIONS IN AFRICA -- Chapter 1: Century-Old Philanthropic Interests in Africa’s Higher Education -- Chapter 2 – Educational Philanthropists and Higher Education Developers -- PART TWO: THE COMMONALITIES OF PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATIONS -- Chapter 3 – Foundations Come with Institutional Cultures -- Chapter 4 – When Foundations Work Together -- Chapter 5 – The Authority of Foundation Presidents -- PART THREE: FOUNDATIONS & THE QUESTION OF LEGITIMACY -- Chapter 6 – The Legitimacy of American Foundations -- Chapter 7 – The Discourse on Priorities among Donors -- Chapter 8 – Legitimacy in an Unequal Partnership -- Conclusion: Equal Participation and the Challenges of Higher Education Philanthropy. .This book offers a nuanced analysis of a US-led foundation initiative of uncommon ambition, featuring seven foundations with a shared commitment to strengthen capacity in higher education in Sub-Saharan African universities. The book examines the conditions under which philanthropy can be effective, the impasses that foundations often face, and the novel context in which philanthropy operates today. This study therefore assesses the shifting grounds on which higher education globally is positioned and the role of global philanthropy within these changing contexts. This is especially important in a moment where higher education is once again recognized as a driver of development and income growth, where knowledge economies requiring additional levels of education are displacing economies predicated on manufacturing, and in a context where higher education itself appears increasingly precarious and under dramatic pressures to adapt to new conditions. .Philanthropy and EducationHigher educationHigher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000AfricafastHigher education.Higher Education.379.12967073Jaumont Fabriceauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064305BOOK9910254969803321Unequal Partners2537356UNINA
