Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review
"Elegantly structured and persuasively argued, In the Shadow of Race does a brilliant job of showing how the constitutive relationship between race and ethnicity formed over time rather than at a single moment. Victoria Hattam's analysis of this dynamic is subtle and engaging, the product of a finely researched and well-thought-out project." - Desmond King, University of Oxford"
