{"product_id":"bridges-of-reform","title":"Bridges of Reform","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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\n\u003cbr\u003ewar 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\n\u003cbr\u003eopinion, Bridges of Reform demonstrates the long-term role western cities like Los Angeles played in shaping American race relations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058793140462,"sku":"9780195331677","price":71.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780195331677.jpg?v=1736483442","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/bridges-of-reform","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
