    by Robert Cherry ...
    Arab Citizens of Israel challenges narratives that portray Israel as a settler-colonial apartheid state defined by entrenched discrimination against its Arab minority.

  • Why the Jews?

    How Jewish Values Transformed Twentieth Century American Pop Culture

    by Robert Cherry ...
    At the beginning of the twentieth century, Jewish immigrants upended Protestant control of vaudeville and the silent film industry.

  • The State of the Black Family: Sixty Years of Tragedies and Failures—and New Initiatives Offering Hope

  • Welfare Transformed

    Universalizing Family Policies That Work

    by Robert Cherry ...
    In the ten years after President Clinton made good on his promise to "end welfare as we know it" by signing the reform act of 1996, the number of families on welfare dropped by over three million. This hotly contested legislation has fueled countless hyperbolic arguments from both sides of the political spectrum rather than a clearheaded examination of the actual results of the reform.

  • Jewish and Christian Views on Bodily Pleasure

    Their Origins and Relevance in the Twentieth-Century

    by Robert Cherry ...
    At the beginning of the Common Era, Jewish renewal movements, including Jesus' ministry, had similar views: embracing moderate ascetic behavior. Over the next three centuries, however, they moved in opposite directions. Christianity came to firmly privilege anti-pleasure views and female lifelong virginity while the Babylonian Talmud strongly embraced positive views on bodily pleasures and female ... Read more

    Since Polish Catholics embraced some anti-Jewish notions and actions prior to WWII, many intertwined the Nazi death camps in Poland with Polish anti-Semitism. As a result, more so than local non-Jewish population in other Nazi-occupied countries, Polish Catholics were considered active collaborators in the destruction of European Jewry. Through the presentation of these negative images in ... Read more
