More often remembered as the champion of the down-trodden and an international advocate of equality, Geraldine Kidd shows us that even Eleanor's humanitarian activism had blind spots. Kidd vividly illustrates how Eleanor's childhood and patrician upbringing, so imbued with the ideology of a White Man's Burden, led to her comprehension of the Middle East and helped set in motion the U.S. commitment to a Jewish state. - Michael Patrick Cullinane, University of Roehampton, London. This is a fine and original piece of scholarship that exposes a side of Eleanor Roosevelt that has long been ignored, namely, her attitudes towards Palestinians and their rights. Many will be surprised at just how anomalous her views on Palestinians were compared with her eminently progressive and liberal attitudes to other oppressed or disadvantaged groups. - Alan P. Dobson, Swansea University """This is Eleanor Roosevelt as you've never seen her before.
