Originally published in 1990, The Politics of Ethnic Pressure
examines and evaluates the lobbying activities of the American
Jewish Committee (AJC) between 1906 and 1917. The AJC worked to
confront two specific problems: the outbreak of a series of
programs against the Jews in Russia, and the campaign of the
restrictionists in the United States who sought to impede the entry
of the "new immigrants" from eastern and southern Europe. This book
focuses on the lobbying activities of the AJC with respect to these
issues, and puts forward key questions as to why they cared about
the Russian problem, how they viewed their place within American
society, and how they lobbied on behalf of their Jewish interests.
