{"product_id":"unsettling-eli-bromberg-9781978807242","title":"Unsettling: Jews, Whiteness, and Incest in American Popular Culture","description":"By analyzing how various media told stories about Jewish celebrities and incest, \u003ci\u003eUnsettling \u003c\/i\u003eillustrates how Jewish community protective politics impacted the representation of white male Jewish masculinity in the 1990s. Chapters on Woody Allen, Roseanne Barr, and Henry Roth demonstrate how media coverage of their respective incest denials (Allen), allegations (Barr), and confessions (Roth) intersect with a history of sexual antisemitism, while an introductory chapter on Jewish second-wave feminist criticism of Sigmund Freud considers how Freud became \"white\" in these discussions. \u003ci\u003eUnsettling \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how film, TV, and literature have helped displace once prevalent antisemitic stereotypes onto those who are non-Jewish, nonwhite, and poor. In considering how whiteness functions for an ethnoreligious group with historic vulnerability to incest stereotype as well as contemporary white privilege, \u003ci\u003eUnsettling \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how white Jewish men accused of incest, and even those who defiantly confess it, became improbably sympathetic figures representing supposed white male vulnerability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eli Bromberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978807244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978807242\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 11\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Eli Bromberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089011945727,"sku":"9781978807242","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd0a3941-0604-4e4c-875b-31ab9696d95a.jpg?v=1769107752","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unsettling-eli-bromberg-9781978807242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
