Black, White, Jewish: The Racial Politics of Jewishness (AMSTUD 170C, CSRE 170, JEWISHST 170)

Through investigations of the conflicts between and connections built between American Blacks and Jews, students will develop a vocabulary for talking about how people are categorized, how trust has been established or fractured across communities and cultures, and the limits of intersectionality.
