Description
Ch. 10 (pp. 181-198), "The Economic Success of American Jewry, " discusses also the problem of anti-Jewish discrimination in the USA, concluding that the level of discrimination was much lower than that evinced against other immigrant groups. Mentions that in American society antisemitism became widespread from the latter part of the 19th century up to 1927, a period dominated by the negative stereotype of the Jewish businessman. Examines different economic explanations for this phenomenon. Ch. 11 (pp. 199-217), "Middleman Minority Theories and Black-Jewish Relations, " deals with economic theories stating that the Black-Jewish relationship is fundamentally antagonistic as a result of the occupations in which Jews are concentrated. Mentions that "elite antisemitism" decreased in recent years, but remarks on the frequency of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel practices in American corporations as a result of Arab pressure.
