Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n Jews and the study of antisemitism are often disregarded in multiculturalism in the United States. This “brushing aside” of the Jewish community places Jews in a very difficult situation because, due to continued discrimination and prejudice, Jews need recognition and acceptance in the multicultural community. While light-skinned American Jews are often perceived as White, they are positioned between being considered White and somehow less than when they are found to be Jewish. Therefore, Jews find themselves in this nebulous “space between” the Black\/White binary.  This text takes a personal approach to the study of Jewish people, antisemitism, and the inclusion of the Jewish experience into university multicultural discourse. It also introduces a new Jewish critical race framework that develops from Critical Race Theory and has similarities in the fight against racism and injustice in U.S. society.  The Jewish Struggle in the 21st Century: Conflict, Positionality, and Multiculturalism addresses the needs of the Jewish community in the United States as it pertains to its tenuous position in the fields of multiculturalism and critical race studies. It addresses the lack of representation in the diversity and multicultural education classroom as well as issues of antisemitism at the university level.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   \"Daniel Ian Rubin's The Jewish Struggle in the 21st Century: Conflict, Positionality, and Multiculturalism reflects on the increasing sense of marginality among American 'Jews' (however defined) as part of renewed focus on radical pedagogy in the schools and higher education. The social reality of 'Jews in secular culture seems to have moved them from the historically defined 'perpetual victim' to positions of power, at least within a radical pedagogy that renders them 'White.' Rubin's first-rate study illuminates both the contentious function of 'race' as a fixed category as well as the question of the attribution of 'power' to groups that have been traditionally (and continue to be) marginalized. A solid and compelling study of the pitfalls of identity politics in American society, and specifically in higher education.\" - Sander L. Gilman, Distinguished Professor of the Liberal Arts and Sciences and Professor of Psychiatry, Emory University, and author of Jewish Self-Hatred\u003cbr\u003e \"With inspiration from Warren Blumenfeld, I am moved by the author's activist intensity in addressing four questions: 1) What do you love about being your racial identity? 2) What has been difficult for you growing up this racial identity? 3) What do you never want to hear said again about or seen done to people of your racial identity group?\" and 4) How can people of other racial groups support you and be your allies? Daniel Rubin leads us all expertly in learning to create and navigate racially-inclusive cultures.\" - Virginia Stead, Founding Book Series Editor 'Equity in Higher Education Theory, Policy, \u0026amp; Praxis'           About the Author   Daniel Ian Rubin, Ph.D. (2013), New Mexico State University, is Adjunct Faculty at the University of Redlands School of Education.
