THE NEW JEW IN FILMExploring Jewishness and Judaism in Contemporary CinemaNathan Abrams“Abrams adds fresh perspectives on
emerging global film depictions of Jews in
an investigation of how old, fixed catego-
ries of stereotypes have been subverted
since 1990. Abrams shows how cinema
has become the vehicle for normalizing
Jews, generally stereotyped and mocked,
but now framed in ordinary ways. Highly
recommended.”

HOLOCAUST ICONSSymbolizing the Shoah in History and MemoryOren B. StierStier traces the lives and afterlives of
certain remnants of the Holocaust and their
ongoing impact. He shows how and why
four icons—an object, a phrase, a person,
and a number—have come to stand in for
the Holocaust: where they came from and
how they have been used and reproduced;
how they are presently at risk from a variety of threats such
as commodification; and what the future holds for the memory
of the Shoah.

SHTETLA Vernacular Intellectual HistoryVolume 5
Jeffrey ShandlerBy examining the meaning of shtetl,
Shandler asks how Jewish life in
provincial towns in Eastern Europe has
become the subject of extensive schol-
arship. He traces the trajectory of writing
about these towns, by Jews and non-
Jews, residents and visitors, research-
ers, novelists, memoirists, journalists,
and others, to demonstrate how the Yiddish word for “town”
emerged as a key word in Jewish culture.

Noam PiankoJewish peoplehood has eclipsed

of a term that assumes an increasingly
important position in American Jewish and Israeli life.

Jonathan BoyarinBoyarin explores a wide range of schol-

strictly Orthodox communities and new
forms of family, including same-sex
parents, and suggests productive ways
to think about possible futures for Jewish family forms.

routes to the Eastern European shtetl to
the streets of contemporary New York.

JEWVolume 8
Cynthia M. BakerThis book offers a wide-ranging
exploration of the key word Jew—charting
the past meanings, present usages, and
possible futures of a term that lies not
only at the heart of Jewish experience,
but at the core of how Western civilization
has imagined the Other. Tracing the
word’s evolution, Cynthia M. Baker also
interrogates the contested categories of
‘ethnicity,’ ‘race’ and ‘religion,’ while providing a glimpse of
what Jew is coming to mean in an era of Internet cultures,
genetic sequencing, and uncertain identities.

provocative, trail blazing insights to
reckon with.”
