I would like to give it 3.5 stars. Historically fascinating and offers details and context to Jews in recent American history. However, it does regard Jews as Ashkenazi Jews, and through this fails as incorporating race from the perspective as different types of Other. In a book about race, this sort of blind spot becomes increasingly apparent.
