Abstract
In this essay Melnick plots a "hidden" history of Black-Jewish relations organized around the alternating currents of homerotic attraction and homophobic repulsion. Focusing on Chester Himes's underappreciated novel Lonely Crusade, this essay invites readers to move beyond the more traditional alliance-building narratives of Black-Jewish relations that have dominated critical studies.
