REICHSROCKThe International Web of White-Power and Neo-Nazi Hate MusicKirsten Dyck“Fascinating and by far the most

TEXTUAL SILENCEUnreadability and the HolocaustJessica LangIn Textual Silence, literary scholar Jessica
Lang asserts that language itself forms
barriers between the author and the
reader in Holocaust texts—and that these
barriers, or silences, are not a lack of
substance, but an essential characteristic
of the genre.

GENTILE NEW YORK The Images of Non-Jews among Jewish ImmigrantsGil RibakThe very question of “what do Jews think
about the goyim” has fascinated Jews and
Gentiles, anti-Semites and philo-Semites
alike. This critical look at the origins of
Jewish liberalism in America provides a
more complicated and nuanced picture of
the Americanization process.

THE HOLOCAUST AVERTEDAn Alternate History of American Jewry, 1938-1967Jeffrey S. Gurock“With imagination and erudition, courage

have evolved without Pearl Harbor and
Auschwitz. His surprisingly dystopian vision,
filled with familiar characters in unfamiliar
and intriguing roles, is sure to challenge—
and, quite possibly, to infuriate.”

rabbis, and congregations. The book

MAKING HISTORY/MAKING BLINTZESHow Two Red Diaper Babies Found Each Other and Discovered AmericaMickey Flacks and Richard FlacksThis book chronicles the political and personal lives of
progressive activists Richard and Miriam Flacks. Their story,
rooted in ‘old left’ childhoods, shaped by the sixties New Left,
and culminating in intellectual and community leadership, is
a valuable first-hand account of how progressive American
activism has evolved over the last 100 years.

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
scholarship. He traces the trajectory
of writing about these towns, by Jews
and non-Jews, residents and visitors,
researchers, novelists, memoirists,
journalists, and others, to demonstrate how the Yiddish
word for “town” emerged as a key word in Jewish culture
and Jewish studies.

JEWISH PEOPLEHOODAn American InnovationVolume 6
Noam PiankoJewish peoplehood has eclipsed
religion—as well as ethnicity and
nationality—as the prevailing definition
of what it means to be a Jew. Pianko
examines the history, the current
significance, and the future relevance
of a term that assumes an increasingly
important position in American Jewish and Israeli life.

JEWISH FAMILIESVolume 4
Jonathan BoyarinBoyarin explores a wide range of schol-
arship in Jewish studies to argue that
Jewish family forms and ideologies have
varied greatly. He considers a range of
family configurations from biblical times
to the twenty-first century, including
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.

SPACE AND PLACE IN JEWISH STUDIESVolume 2
Barbara E. MannSpace and Place in Jewish Studies
embraces how notions of “Jewish space,”
diaspora, and home continue to resonate
within contemporary discourse, bringing
space to the foreground as a practical and
analytical category. Mann takes us on a
journey from medieval Levantine trade
routes to the Eastern European shtetl to
the streets of contemporary New York.

A KOSHER CHRISTMAS‘Tis the Season to be JewishJoshua Eli Plaut“Hanukkah, a once-obscure Jewish
festival that—conveniently falling in
December—has been built up to become
a response to the ‘December dilemma,’
the puzzle posed for non-Christians by
Christmas. The dilemma is no more,
suggests Rabbi Plaut. December
now features traditions that are both
distinctively American and inventively
Jewish.”

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.
