It Could Happen Here
Author: Jonathan Greenblatt
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0358623375
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
“Refreshingly candid . . . Get off Instagram and read this book.” —Sacha Baron Cohen From the dynamic head of ADL, an impassioned argument about the terrifying path that America finds itself on today—and how we can save ourselves. It’s almost impossible to imagine that unbridled hate and systematic violence could come for us or our families. But it has happened in our lifetimes in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. And it could happen here. Today, as CEO of the storied ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), Jonathan Greenblatt has made it his personal mission to demonstrate how antisemitism, racism, and other insidious forms of intolerance can destroy a society, taking root as quiet prejudices but mutating over time into horrific acts of brutality. In this urgent book, Greenblatt sounds an alarm, warning that this age-old trend is gathering momentum in the United States—and that violence on an even larger, more catastrophic scale could be just around the corner. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Drawing on ADL’s decades of experience in fighting hate through investigative research, education programs, and legislative victories as well as his own personal story and his background in business and government, Greenblatt offers a bracing primer on how we—as individuals, as organizations, and as a society—can strike back against hate. Just because it could happen here, he shows, does not mean that the unthinkable is inevitable.

Book Description
"Hungry? Check the Green Book. Tired? Check the Green Book. Sick? Check the Green Book." In the late 1930s when segregation was legal and Black Americans couldn't visit every establishment or travel everywhere they wanted to safely, a New Yorker named Victor Hugo Green decided to do something about it. Green wrote and published a guide that listed places where his fellow Black Americans could be safe in New York City. The guide sold like hot cakes! Soon customers started asking Green to make a guide to help them travel and vacation safely across the nation too. With the help of his mail carrier co-workers and the African American business community, Green's guide allowed millions of African Americans to travel safely and enjoy traveling across the nation. In the first picture book about the creation and distribution of The Green Book, author Keila Dawson and illustrator Alleanna Harris tell the story of the man behind it and how this travel guide opened the road for a safer, more equitable America.

Book Description
Founded in 1913 "to fight anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry," the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has since grown into one of the most powerful socio-political organizations in the United States, exercising a major influence on matters of national and international concern. However, recent historical and archival research by Kaiter Enless reveals an ugly and unsavory pattern of political intrigue and ideological fanaticism which, over the years, has paved the way for the ADL's tainted journey to the corridors of power. Kaiter Enless suggests that the ADL is not what it seems, and questions its real agenda. Read this absorbing, revealing, and well-documented report, and draw your own conclusions!

The New Anti-Semitism
Author: Arnold Forster
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Defines a new, postwar antisemitism as moral indifference to antisemitism, mainly in American society, whereby hatemongers are being ignored or forgotten. This is seen as culminating in inaction in the face of danger to the Jewish state, posed by the threat and then the reality of the attack on Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973. Single or multiple chapters treat Gerald K. Smith's Christian antisemitism; Blacks; the Christian clergy's failure to accept the need for a Jewish state; the media's spreading of anti-Jewish stereotypes (including in films); anti-Zionism and antisemitism among the radical Left, communists, Arabs, and pro-Arabists (including Jews); antisemitism in the USSR, Western Europe, and Latin America; and right-wing hatemongers. Berates both tolerance of and apologists for antisemitism in all its manifestations.
