520 |a "This important book provides a missing piece of the puzzle of the postwar years by telling the intriguing story of the liberal interracial coalitions, at once anticommunist and innovative, that survived McCarthyism to lay groundwork for the better-known movements of the 1960s. Full of surprising successes as well as moral ambiguities, Bridges of Reform will deepen understanding and spark fruitful debate about the full spectrum of activist politics during the long civil rights era."--Nancy Maclean, author of Freedom Is Not Enough: The Opening of the American Workplace 
520 |a "Bernstein's book is a timely reminder that the multiracial political coalitions of today are not new; they were forged in the years after World War II by race liberals who saw bridges where others saw chasms. And they were forged in Los Angeles, the last best hope for so many immigrants and American migrants. They saw--as does Bernstein--that civil rights could never be guaranteed for the majority if they were still denied to the minority. Theirs was an instructive lesson, and Bernstein delivers it to us with passionate prose."--Josh Sides, author of L.A. City Limits: African American Los Angeles from the Great Depression to the Present 
520 |a "Based on extensive archival research, Bridges of Reform breaks new ground by documenting the extent of ethnic coalition building in Los Angeles that most other historians have neglected due to their focus on specific ethnic movements. Shana Bernstein's work will have a significant impact on how we view ethnic history from the Great Depression to the--Mario Garcia, author of Mexican Americans: Leadership, Ideology and Identity, 1930-1960 
520 |a "This Careful and nuanced account uses the history of Los Angeles to shed new light on the way civil rights activists persisted with reform during a difficult era in American history. Bridges of Reform illustrates the power and significance of multi-racial and -ethnic coalitions. An important contribution."--Mary L. Dudziak, author of Exporting American Dreams: Thurgood Marshall's African Journey 
520 |a In 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 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, Bridges of Reform demonstrates the long-term role western cities like Los Angeles played in shaping American race relations. --Book Jacket.
