In the Almost Promised Land : American Jews and Blacks, 1915-1935
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Based upon thorough research and documentation, In the Almost Promised Land vividly illustrates the well-known but little-understood phenomenon of Jewish support for a better life for American blacks. Diner has produced a significant contribution to the examination of ethnic studies and an insightful analysis of certain aspects of the early years of the civil rights movement in the twentieth century." -- Cithara: Essays in the Judeo-Christian Tradition
"Helps explain why a special relationship between Jews and blacks developed within the context of a particular historical period and why that relationship ultimately ended." -- Historical Review
"Diner has neither idolized nor debunked the Jewish leaders who sought to help blacks achieve a better life. What she has done, and this should be a model for others writing ethnic history, is to examine the complexities that motivated one group of individuals to help another." -- Labor History
