The history of Black-Jewish relations from the beginning of the
twentieth century shows that, while they were sometimes partners of
convenience, there was also a deep suspicion of each other that
broke out into frequent public exchanges. During the twentieth
century, the entanglements of both groups have, at times, provided
an important impetus for social justice in the United States and,
at other times, have been the cause of great tension. The Ocean
Hill-Brownsville Conflict explores this fraught relationship, which
is evident in the intellectual lives of these communities. The
tension was as apparent in the life and works of Marcus Garvey,
Richard Wright, and James Baldwin as it was in the exchanges
between blacks and Jews in intellectual periodicals and journals in
the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. The Ocean Hill--Brownsville conflict
was rooted in this tension and the longstanding differences over
community control of school districts and racial preferences.
