The Ocean Hill-Brownsville Conflict explores this fraught relationship, which is evident in the intellectual lives of these communities. The tension was as apparent in the life and works of Marcus Garvey, Richard Wright, and James Baldwin as it was in the exchanges between blacks and Jews Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-204) and index Notes Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Ocean Hill-Brownsville Demonstration School District (New York, N.Y.)
