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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667239502112,"sku":"NEW0195331672","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81cXo1YC1_L.jpg?v=1778962276","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bridges-of-reform-interracial-civil-rights-activism-in-twentieth-century-los-angeles-0195331672","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
