They go further in bringing into focus how our revolutions have not delivered us across the line, and how to get across the line.POETRY / AfricanbisacshElectronic books.

Harvard University Press20111 online resource (271 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780674057012 0674057015 Includes bibliographical references and index.Races -- Diasporas and nationalisms -- Melting pots -- Popular and institutional cultures -- The gathering storm: the 1930s and World War II.This comparative study focuses on three groups often seen as antagonistic—Blacks, Jews, and Irish. Resolutely aware of past tensions, Bornstein argues that the pendulum has swung too far in that direction and that it is time to recover the history of lost connections and cooperation among the groups. The chronological range stretches from Frederick Douglass’s tour of Ireland during the Great Famine of the 1840s through the 1940s with the catastrophe of World War II. The study ends with the concept of the Righteous Gentile commemorated at the Israeli Holocaust Memorial, Yad Vashem--non-Jews who during the Holocaust risked their own lives to rescue Jews from the horror of the Holocaust. Bornstein expands the term here to include all those Irish, Jewish, or African American figures who fought against narrow identification only with their own group and instead championed a wider and more humane vision of a shared humanity that sees hybridity rather than purity and love rather than resentment. The identity politics and culture wars of recent decades often made recognizing those positive qualities problematic. But with the election of a mixed-race president who himself embodies mixture and mutual respect (and who famously described himself as a “mutt”), the shallow and arbitrary nature of narrow identity politics become evident. This study recuperates strong voices from the past of all three groups in order to let them speak for themselves.RacismHistoryRacismUnited StatesHistoryEthnic relationsHistoryJewsIdentityBlack peopleRace identityIrishEthnic identityRace relations in literatureAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismAmerican literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticismIrish literatureHistory and criticismUnited StatesEthnic relationsHistoryRacismHistory.RacismHistory.Ethnic relationsHistory.JewsIdentity.Black peopleRace identity.IrishEthnic identity.Race relations in literature.American literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.American literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticism.Irish literatureHistory and criticism.305.8009Bornstein George703221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965631503321The colors of Zion4353777UNINA
