Summary: "The newly defined field of Jewish American literary studies (and thus the title of this volume) responds to this changing demographic and dynamic and is perhaps best thought of as so named for the pragmatic purposes of bringing together a body of texts that might be called 'Jewish.' Such a defining principle of Jewish American literature, as Miron proposes, should not be understood as fixed"--Provided by publisher

内容説明
The opening decades of the twenty-first century are distinguished by a newly framed and regenerated outlook of Jewish American literary studies. This volume introduces readers to the new perspectives, new approaches, and widening of interpretive possibilities in Jewish American literature accompanied by the changes of the new millennium. Now that we are over a decade into a new century, the field of Jewish American literary studies has begun to reshape itself in response to a 'new diaspora', a newly defined sense not only of Jewish American literature, but of America, an expansion of new genres, new voices, and new platforms of expression. This book re-evaluates questions of race, feminism, gender, sexuality, orthodoxy, assimilation, identity politics, and historical alienation that shape Jewish American literary studies. Several chapters show the influence of other cultures on the field such as Iranian-American-Jewish writing, Israeli-American, and Latin American literary expression, as well as the impact of Russian emigres.
