The book showcases the lives of Black Jews, demonstrating that racial ascription has been shaping Jewish selfhood for centuries. It reassesses the boundaries between race and ethnicity, offering insight into how ethnicity can be understood only in relation to racialization and the one-drop rule. Within this context, Black Jewish individuals strive to assert their dual identities and find acceptance within their communities. Putting to rest the notion that Jews are white and the Black Jews are therefore a contradiction, the volume argues that we cannot pigeonhole Black Hebrews and Israelites as exotic, militant, and nationalistic sects outside the boundaries of mainstream Jewish thought and community life. it spurs us to consider the significance of the growing population of self-identified Black Jews and its implications for the future of American Jewry. 650 0 $a Black Hebrews $z United States. 650 0 $a African American Jews $x History. 650 0 $a Jews $x Identity. 651 0 $a United States $x Ethnic relations. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Relations with Jews. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American Jews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798979 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Jews $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983278 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Religion, race, and ethnicity. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211015259.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20191002013915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=46EDD200462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
