Queer Jewish Strangers in American Popular Culture

Life Between Assimilation and Otherness

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Amy Tziporah Karp illuminates that Jewish American assimilation is still an unfinished project for many Jewish LGBTQIA+ characters in popular culture. Many of the characters considered in this book reject assimilation imperatives and choose, instead, to inhabit a veritable homeless space in solidarity with other marginalized peoples.
