OMG, don't let Netanyahu see these pictures cause he'll find these folks and exterminate them..

I checked out the book's reviews and I think the author - who is an Ashkenazi Jew - meant well but his framing reflects Ashkenazi indoctrination and is quite Eurocentric.
Check out this passage:

"..Dorman provides a vivid portrait of Black Israelites, showing them to be a transnational movement that fought racism and its erasure of people of color from European-derived religions."

What da hell does he mean by "European-derived religions"?
Judaism & Christianity ARE NOT European-derived religions. Dammitt!
So you see how easily the European Jewish indoctrination informs & frames his scholarship? There's a subtle assumption that Judaism (Ashkenazi!) is the default originators of the religion. Terrible!

No doubt he did some good research though, both on the AfricanAmerican angle and the West Indian/Caribbean influence bleeding into the formation of Rastafarianism etc.

Frankly, i'll get a copy of this book(2012) for my library but with the awareness that his framing of Judaism is too Eurocentric.
