ISBN: 9781108552257 出版年：2019 页码：314 Victoria Aarons Cambridge University Press

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.
