Yet very few realize that Andrew Goodman had been in Mississippi for one day when he was killed; Rita Schwerner, Mickey's wife, had been organizing in Mississippi for six difficult months. Organized around a rich blend of oral histories, Going South followsa group of Jewish women--come of age in the shadow of the Holocaust and deeply committed to social justice--who put their bodies and lives on the line to fight racism. Actively rejecting the post-war idyll of suburban, Jewish, middle-class life, these women were deeply influenced by Jewish notions of morality and social justice. Many thus perceived the call of the movement as positively irresistible. Representing a link between the sensibilities of the early civil rights era and contemporary efforts to move beyond the limits of identity politics, the book provides a resource for all who are interested in anti-racism, the civil rights movement, social justice, Jewish activism and radical women's traditions. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJewish women$zUnited States$xPolitical activity$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJewish women$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen civil rights workers$zSouthern States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Jews 606 $aCivil rights movements$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aOral history 607 $aSouthern States$xRace relations 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aJewish women$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aJewish women 615 0$aWomen civil rights workers 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Jews. 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 615 0$aOral history. 676 $a323.1/196073/00923924 700 $aSchultz$b Debra L$01871547 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968512503321 996 $aGoing South$94480417 997 $aUNINA
