Description of The Price of Whiteness: Jews, Race, and American Identity
Review 'Eric Goldstein demonstrates in this intriguing and insightful study [that] it would be much too short-sighted to regard race solely as a problematic concept imposed on American Jews in order to marginalize them.'---Tobias Brinkmann, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies'Winner of the 2008 Sami Rohr Prize for the Jewish Literature Choice Award''Winner of the 2006 Theodore Saloutos Prize, Immigration and Ethnic History Society''A palimpsest layering institutional, communal, literary, religious, and visual materials, Goldstein's study moves deftly and amusingly through periods and across cultural domains to show how the Jews came to describe themselves. . . . Goldstein's presentation of a century and a half of Jewish 'negotiation' of whiteness is fascinating chapter by chapter, and deft in communicating the bewildering diversity and reactivity of Jewish relationships to the black community.'---Elisa New, New Republic'More than any other historian to date, Goldstein . . . shows the changing ways in which Jewish Americans themselves argued either for their own racial particularity, or for their inclusions as whites, or for both.'---David Roediger, Chronicle of Higher Education'Finalist for the 2007 Weinberg Judaic Studies Institute Book Award''Eric Goldstein, an American historian, has written a fascinating, meticulously documented book that . . . shows that American Jews' definition of the Jewish collectivity, for themselves as well as for others, has undergone significant change over the past two centuries, to a large extent reflecting their varying sense of security in American society.'---Chaim I. Waxman, Jewish Political Studies Review'Eric L. Goldstein has written a penetrating and illuminating account of US Jews' entanglement with 'race' from the last third of the 19th century to the present. . . . [T]his is a thought-provoking text that deserves a wide readership.' (Choice)'The Price of Whiteness is technically solid, with insightful writing and organization. . . . The Price of Whiteness is even more relevant than Goldstein is willing to claim. This is a highly readable, well-researched, and equitable examination of one of the most interesting topics in American Jewish history and a book worthy of consideration for course adoption in this field.'---Glen Anthony Harris, American Jewish Archives Journal'Co-Winner of the 2006 Saul Viener Book Prize, American Jewish Historical Society' Read more Review 'Provocative and sure to spark discussion, this book will interest students of both American and Jewish history. It is a valuable contribution to scholarship in the field.'?Deborah Dash Moore, University of Michigan'This is an outstanding book. It offers scholars and general readers a complicated, nuanced, and sophisticated engagement with [the] issue.'?Hasia R. Diner, New York University Read more See all Editorial Reviews
