Specificatii
A major reevaluation of relationships among Blacks, Jews, and Irish
in the years between the Irish Famine and the end of World War II,
The Colors of Zion argues that the cooperative efforts and
sympathies among these three groups, each persecuted and subjugated
in its own way, was much greater than often acknowledged today. For
the Black, Jewish, and Irish writers, poets, musicians, and
politicians at the center of this transatlantic study, a sense of
shared wrongs inspired repeated outpourings of sympathy. If what
they have to say now surprises us, it is because our current
constructions of interracial and ethnic relations have
overemphasized conflict and division. As George Bornstein says in
his Introduction, he chooses to let the principals speak for
themselves.While acknowledging past conflicts and tensions,
Bornstein insists on recovering the lost connections through which
these groups frequently defined their plights as well as their
aspirations. In doing so, he examines a wide range of materials,
including immigration laws, lynching, hostile race theorists, Nazis
and Klansmen, discriminatory university practices, and Jewish
publishing houses alongside popular plays like The Melting Pot and
Abie's Irish Rose, canonical novels like Ulysses and Daniel
Deronda, music from slave spirituals to jazz, poetry, and early
films such as The Jazz Singer. The models of brotherhood that
extended beyond ethnocentrism a century ago, the author argues,
might do so once again today, if only we bear them in mind. He also
urges us to move beyond arbitrary and invidious categories of race
and ethnicity.
