Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz was a Jewish writer, political activist, and the founding executive director of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. In her book The colors of Jews: racial politics and radical diasporism (2007), she described radical diasporism—where Jews “make home where we are”—as an alternative to Zionism. In an essay in the Jewish women’s anthology she co-edited titled The Tribe of Dina (1986), she described how her activism was intrinsic to her Judaism.
