Remaining outside of the dominant Christian culture yet often excluded from multicultural agendas, Jews walk a precarious line––a narrow bridge––between dominance and marginality. Many Jews, aware of the shaky identity of Jewishness, are deeply involved in all levels of the multiculturalism debate. But there still exists a need for careful, reflective analysis of the importance and dangers of multiculturalism to the Jewish community. What is multiculturalism? What can it be to the Jews? What can the Jewish community learn from and contribute to the current debate?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a collection of essays by scholars and activists whose writing ranges from the personal to the philosophical, \u003ci\u003eThe Narrow Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e  examines multiculturalism within and beyond the Jewish community. How does classism work within the Jewish community? How can synagogues reach out to gays and lesbians? How have tensions between Jews and Blacks developed historically and what can we learn from that history? How can we include Jewish studies in multicultural curricula?  This timely collection of provocative articles makes fine use of these and other questions, offering us a look at where Jews have stood, where they now stand, and what they can hope for in the complex arena of multiculturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMulticulturalism, Jews, and democracy : situating the discussion \/ Marla Brettschneider\u003cbr\u003e Challenges of difference at Bridges \/ Clare Kinberg\u003cbr\u003e Beyond the taboo : talking about class \/ Felice Yeskel\u003cbr\u003e Klal Israel : lesbians and gays in the Jewish community \/ Bob Goldfarb\u003cbr\u003e Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Quebecois : Jewish politics in multicultural Canada \/ Rebecca Posner\u003cbr\u003e Toward a multicultural politics : a Jewish feminist perspective \/ Martha Ackelsberg\u003cbr\u003e Stayed on freedom : Jew in the Civil Rights Movement and after \/ Melanie Kaye\/Kantrowitz\u003cbr\u003e Black, white, and red: Jewish and African Americans in the Communist Party \/ Gerald Horne\u003cbr\u003e Pioneers in dialogue : Jews building bridges \/ Reena Bernards\u003cbr\u003e Of Haiti and horseradish \/ Toba Spitzer\u003cbr\u003e Jews and the multicultural university curriculum \/ Evelyn Torton Beck\u003cbr\u003e Jews and African Americans as cotrainers in antiracism and antioppression education \/ Naomi Nim\u003cbr\u003e Making room for Jews in multicultural public school education \/ Leora Saposnik, Ellen Osterhaus\u003cbr\u003e The tree of knowledge and the tree of life \/ Jonathan Boyarin\u003cbr\u003e Hearing the call : solidarity with Ethiopian Jews \/ Ephraim Isaac\u003cbr\u003e Voices from the field : multiculturalism as experienced in Jewish social service agencies \/ Nora Gold\u003cbr\u003e Facilitating multicultural progress : community economic development and the American Jewish community \/ Jeffrey Dekro\u003cbr\u003e What does it mean to be an \"\u003cbr\u003eAmerican\"\u003cbr\u003e? \/ Michael Walzer\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559277326616,"sku":"9780813522906","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-narrow-bridge-jewish-views-on-multiculturalism-paperback-softback-9780813522906","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
