Abstract:
As a result of changing demographic patterns, the Jewish community is increasingly dispersed in sprawling suburban areas, which are now home to many ethnic minorities. As previously solid white suburbs have become ethnically diverse, the public schools have become the focal point of intergroup tensions. The Jewish Community Council of Detroit joined with new ethnic coalition partners, as well as traditional partners in new geographic areas, to address this problem, using the ground rules for coalition building that have proved so successful in the past.
