The Issue Is Power (2nd Edition): Essays on Women, Jews, Violence and Resistance

Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Political activist and writer Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz brought an insightful eye and a sharp analytical mind to probe the problems facing America at the turn of the century. First published in 1992, the hard-hitting essays in this collection scan the connections across a wide range of issues: whether the topic is class, racism, Israel and Palestine, war, anti-Semitism, violence against women or violence by women, the issue is power--in all its complexity. Now in its second edition and no less relevant nearly three decades later, her work--dedicated, persistent--continues to remind us of the strength in community.
