Afro-American Studies 332 - Blacks and Jews

Our aim in this course is to share with students an understanding of the scope and diversity of the relations of African Americans and Jewish Americans in the U.S., during the past 300 years. One of our purposes is to minimize the tendency toward comparing degrees of suffering, or posing an ?Us versus Them? framework that ignores the more complex interactions that have characterized Black-Jewish relations over time and in different geographical parts of the U.S.
