The Issue Is Power (2nd Edition)

Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women’s Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Political activist and writer Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz brought an insightful eye and a sharp analytical mind to probe the problems facing America at the turn of the century. First published in 1992, the hard-hitting essays in this collection scan the connections across a wide range of issues: whether the topic is class, racism, Israel and Palestine, war, anti-Semitism, violence against women or violence by women, the issue is power–in all its complexity. Now in its second edition and no less relevant nearly three decades later, her work–dedicated, persistent–continues to remind us of the strength in community.
