Nine years in the making, the University of North Carolina Press has published Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett’s definitive biography of Harry Golden:

“Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care About Jews, the South, and Civil Rights” by Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett

This first comprehensive biography of Jewish American writer and humorist Harry Golden (1903-1981)–author of the 1958 national best-seller Only in America–illuminates a remarkable life intertwined with the rise of the civil rights movement, Jewish popular culture, and the sometimes precarious position of Jews in the South and across America during the 1950s.
