Abstract:

The author looks at survey data regarding African-American views about Jews, as well as Jewish views about African-Americans, to analyze the contemporary state of Black-Jewish relations. He finds no support in the data for the assertion that Jewish opposition to affirmative action is the cause of recent intergroup tensions.
