reviewed How Would God Really Vote on November 05, 2008 How Would God Really Vote
This book fits so squarely within my intellectual interests it's silly. Like I've mentioned before, I think I'm a bit more demanding on academic books. I'm really looking for a solid, cohesive argument, and "Torns at the Roots" didn't 100% get there.
BUT: It was engagingly written for an academic book (the worst I could say is that the word "ambivalent" appeared here about 40 too many times) and Staub covers all sorts of different, interesting topics in a logical way. You can clearly see how arguments over civil rights moved into ones over Vietnam moved into ones over women's lib, etc etc. It's an intellectual history, so this is basically a summary of back-and-forth arguments. He said/she said stuff. But, to me at least, it was fascinating, and I really appreciated all the nuance re: what Jewishness means. That nuance is definitely something I'm hungry for in my personal life, so I really enjoyed the read overall.
