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, \u003cem\u003eBridges of Reform\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the long-term role western cities like Los Angeles played in shaping American race relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShana Bernstein\u003c\/strong\u003e is Clinical Associate Professor of Legal Studies at Northwestern University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52637134127411,"sku":"9780195331677","price":75.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MBtELnC8mT9780195331677.webp?v=1762286044","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/bridges-of-reform-interracial-civil-rights-activism-in-twentieth-century-los-angeles-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
