Why They Couldn't Wait : A Critique of the Black-Jewish Conflict Over Community Control in Ocean-Hill Brownsville, 1967-1971
Editorial Reviews
Review
""WHY THEY COULDN'T WAIT sympathetically chronicles a complex chapter in the struggle for racial equality. It serves as an important corrective to the mostly hostile mainstream accounts, and usefully recalls that many (if still too few) Jews joined in solidarity with the beleaguered Oceanhill-Brownsville commuity."."
– Norman G. Finkelstein, author of THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY
Book Description
This book looks at how the construction of blacks as unreasonable and illiberal in North American society creates obstacles in efforts to create equity in education. Examining the infamous conflict between a predominantly black community and a predominantly Jewish teacher's union, this story shows the limitations of some class narratives and the problematic misrepresentations of anti-Semitism that impede struggles for racial and social justice in Northeast urban areas.
