Race in US has been associated with heredity and inequality. This book recovers the history of this distinction and divisive politics it engenders. It locates the origins of ethnicity in New York Zionist movement of the 1900s. It argues that Jewish activists identified as ethnics as a way of defending immigrant difference as distinct from race.
