Jewish voters are overwhelmingly liberal and much more likely than non- Jewish white voters to support an African-American candidate., Jewish voters also staunchly support the greatest possible separation of church * Assistant Professor, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. For critical readings of earlier drafts of this Essay, the author is indebted to Erwin Chemerinsky, Stephen W. Gard, Roger D. Hatch, Stephan Landsman, and Peter Paris.

In the 1982 California gubernatorial election, Jewish voters gave the African- American candidate, Tom Bradley, 75% of their vote; Jews were second only to African- Americans in their support for Bradley, exceeding even Hispanics, while the majority of the white vote went for the white Republican candidate, George Deukmejian.

  • From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro"
    Trading Places: From Black Power Activist to "Anti-Negro Negro" Alyson Cole In March of 1988, the faculty of the Afro-American Studies Department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst unanimously demanded that the University remove one of its most distinguished members, Professor Julius Lester. The official reason given for this unprecedented request was that Lester had become an "anti-Negro-Negro."1 In making this extraordinary demand, Lester's colleagues were reacting to the recent publication of his autobiography. En­ titled Loves ong: On Becoming a Jew (1988a), the book tells the story of Lester's conversion to Judaism and details his growing alienation from Black politics. The faculty's lengthy report concluded, "Professor Lester would be infinitely more comfortable at a different location in the University" (Lester 1988b, 17- 8).2 Elaborating on the written account, one of the authors pointedly remarked that retaining Lester in Afro-American Studies is "like having Yassir Arafat teach­ ing in the Jewish Studies Department."3 The University eventually complied with the request and transferred Professor Lester to another department. This bit of academic infighting soon became national news.4 Journalists reminded their readers that back in the late 1960s, when he was a prominent Black Power activist, Lester gained notoriety as an anti-Semite. The Los Ange­ les Times maintained that now Lester was himself a victim of anti-Semitism.5 Despite the University's intervention, or perhaps because of it, the scandal re­ fused to die. Lester himself contributed to the prolonged life of this affair by 0026-3079/2003/4403-037S2.50/0 American Studies, 44:3 (Fall 2003): 37-76 37 38 Alyson Cole rehashing events and responding to his detractors in published articles and pub­ lic lectures.6 More significant still, conservative critics enthusiastically seized upon the story of Lester's excommunication.

Sargent, Chair Professor David A. Hollinger Professor Scott Saul Fall 2012 © 2012 – Anna Jane Armentrout All rights reserved. Abstract The Politics of Experience: Peace Corps Volunteers, Vietnam Veterans, and American Internationalism, 1961 – 1985 by Anna Jane Armentrout Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel J. Sargent, Chair This dissertation argues that knowledge based on personal experience came to rival accredited knowledge in American foreign policymaking during the Vietnam War. This shift toward experiential authority transformed American political culture and foreign policy. First-person narratives of Americans who lived abroad became crucial sources for popular understanding and congressional decision-making. In turn, the authority of personal experience in discussions of foreign policy helped enable a movement away from the global projects of development and containment and toward human rights around the world. Focusing on Vietnam veterans and Peace Corps volunteers, this dissertation explores the uses to which these groups put their on-the-ground experience when they spoke publicly about American foreign policy issues.
