"Two wonderful books in one! First, the enchanting story of Libby's—a unique Lower East Side hotel, bath, and Jewish community center built by Max Bernstein as a memorial to his mother and a counter to antisemitism. Second, the sordid story of predatory lenders and corrupt government officials who destroyed and buried Libby's, leaving behind a dangerous park and, in time, a sinkhole. A rollicking stranger-than-fiction cautionary tale from early twentieth-century New York." — Jonathan D. Sarna, author of American Judaism: A History

This week's is from Tanja Eise, Director of Sales and Marketing. In all our sixty years of publishing, this bestseller remains a foundational text used in university courses around the US and beyond. This classic examines "the complex confluence of identities-race, class, gender, and sexuality-systemic to women of color oppression and liberation." So grateful to be its publisher!
