What does the Jew stand for in modern culture? The conscious or unconscious, often hysterical repetition of myths and exaggerations, and the repertory of cliches, fantasies and phobias surrounding the stereotypes of the Jew and the Jewess, have meant that they are figures frequently represented both in the world of literature and art and in the industries of popular culture.

Reviews
The concept of being Jewish in the modern world is the subject of this collection of specially commissioned essays. The place of the Jew as the other is brilliantly explicated in essays on Tolouse-Lautrec, Bernhardt, Proust, Mauclair, and Rebatet. Lissitzky's use of Hebrew letters in his paintings is explained as a specific Jewish mystical undertaking, while Leopold Bloom is understood to be the Jew as everyman. Modern anti-Semitism brings into question the projects of the Enlightenment and literary realism, as is shown in essays on Sartre and Dickens. Closer to home are their essays on Hollywood and the Holocaust Museum. A fascinating book full of sociological, literary, and methodological insights; recommended for religion and literature collections.?Gene Shaw, NYPL
