Going South – Dr. Debra Schultz
Going South: Jewish Women in the Civil Rights Movement (NYU Press) follows a group of Jewish women–come of age in the shadow of the Holocaust and deeply committed to social justice–who put their bodies and lives on the line to fight racism. Actively rejecting the post-war idyll of suburban, Jewish, middle-class life, these women were deeply influenced by Jewish notions of morality and social justice. Many thus perceived the call of the movement as positively irresistible.
