The Color of Zion: Blacks, Jews, and Irish from 1845 to 1945

(Harvard University Press) Harvard’s website describes this book as “a major reevaluation of relationships among blacks, Jews, and the Irish in the years between the Irish famine and the end of WWII. It argues that the cooperative efforts and sympathies among these three groups … was much greater than often acknowledged today.” Borstein is the C.A. Patrides professor of literature emeritus at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
