{"product_id":"bridges-of-reform","title":"Bridges of Reform","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, Bridges of Reform demonstrates the long-term role western cities like Los Angeles played in shaping American race relations.","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54253999423832,"sku":"9780195331660","price":84.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780195331660.jpg?v=1782348316","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/bridges-of-reform","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
