{"product_id":"movie-made-jews-helene-meyers-9781978821880","title":"Movie-Made Jews: An American Tradition","description":"\u003ci\u003eMovie-Made Jews\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on a rich, usable American Jewish cinematic tradition. This tradition includes fiction and documentary films that make Jews through antisemitism, Holocaust indirection, and discontent with assimilation. It prominently features the unapologetic assertion of Jewishness, queerness, and alliances across race and religion. Author Helene Meyers shows that as we go to our local theater, attend a Jewish film festival, play a DVD, watch streaming videos, Jewishness becomes part of the multicultural mosaic rather than collapsing into a generic whiteness or being represented as a life apart. This engagingly-written book demonstrates that a Jewish movie is neither just a movie nor for Jews only. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With incisive analysis, \u003ci\u003eMovie-Made Jews \u003c\/i\u003echallenges the assumption that American Jewish cinema is a cinema of impoverishment and assimilation. While it's a truism that Jews make movies, this book brings into focus the diverse ways movies make Jews. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helene Meyers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978821883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978821880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Helene Meyers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994595393791,"sku":"9781978821880","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b944079-51c1-495a-8d2d-d4d018189152.jpg?v=1683331085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/movie-made-jews-helene-meyers-9781978821880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
