{"product_id":"bridges-of-reform-shana-bernstein-9780195331677","title":"Bridges of Reform: Interracial Civil Rights Activism in Twentieth-Century Los Angeles","description":"In her first book, Shana Bernstein reinterprets U.S. civil rights activism by looking at its roots in the interracial efforts of Mexican, African, Jewish, and Japanese Americans in mid-century Los Angeles. Expanding the frame of historical analysis beyond black\/white and North\/South, Bernstein reveals that meaningful domestic activism for racial equality persisted from the 1930s through the 1950s. She stresses how this coalition-building was facilitated by the cold war climate, as activists sought protection and legitimacy in this conservative era. Emphasizing the significant connections between ethno-racial communities and between the United States and world opinion, \u003cem\u003eBridges of Reform\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the long-term role western cities like Los Angeles played in shaping American race relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shana Bernstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195331672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195331677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Shana Bernstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001080430847,"sku":"9780195331677","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68b0b4cd-b1cd-439c-82d9-89041c43ba30.jpg?v=1751600006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridges-of-reform-shana-bernstein-9780195331677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
