Forman (read 20 Apr 2003) I know, this is a reference book, but it was of such interest I read it cover to cover. There are 14 essays on Jews in American political life, and about 400 short biographies of Jews in American politics. I was struck that not till 1916 was a Jew named a Federal judge, when Brandeis was put on the Supreme Court, and not till FDR's time was a Jew appointed to a lesser Federal court. There have been 17 Jewish governors, but only one in New York and none in California, and 27 Jewish senators, with ten presently serving. The essays discussing politics and Jews were interesting though I cannot say they told me much startling to a political observer. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Joseph Lieberman's Vice Presidential nomination and Presidential candidacy are neither the first nor last words on signal Jewish achievements in American politics. Jews have played an important role in American government since the early 1800s at least, and in view of the 2004 election, there is no political office outside the reach of Jewish American citizens. For the first time, Jews in American Politics: Essays brings together a complete picture of the past, present, and future of Jewish political participation. Perfect for students and scholars alike, this monumental work includes thoughtful and original chapters by leading journalists, scholars, and practitioners. Topics range from Jewish leadership and identity; to Jews in Congress, on the Supreme Court, and in presidential administrations; and on to Jewish influence in the media, the lobbies, and in other arenas in which American government operates powerfully, if informally. In addition to the thematically unified essays, Jews in American Politics: Essays concludes with an invaluable roster of Jews in key governmental positions from Ambassadorships and Cabinet posts to federal judges, state governors, and mayors of major cities. Both analytical and anecdotal, the essays in Jews in American Politics offer deep insight into serious questions about the dilemmas that Jews in public service face, as well as humorous sidelights and authoritative reference materials never before collected in one source. The story of the rich tradition of Jewish participation in American political life provides an indispensable resource for any serious follower of American politics, especially in election year 2004.
