Reviews
With Roth's skillful eye, the detective story becomes a fascinating site for the delicate negotiation between Jewish tradition and American cultural norms., Roth's clever analysis, grounded in both Jewish and literary scholarship, reveals that Jewish detective fiction is interestingùand sometimes profoundùbecause it is inherently shatnes, a powerful and potentially dangerous mixture of Jewish and Western values and behaviors. His readings enhance our understanding of why this genre makes such an exhilarating read., What will readers uncover when they inspect Inspecting Jews ? Quite simply, one of the liveliest contributions to the field of Jewish cultural studies that has appeared in some time. Bringing together the Talmud and consumer research techniques, midrash and police procedurals, this is a work about 'kosher hybridity,' a term that Roth has coined to describe new forms of Jewishness in America.

Synopsis
In this book, Laurence Roth argues that the popular genre of Jewish detective stories offers new insights into the construction of ethnic and religious identity. Roth frames his study with the concept of "kosher hybridity" to look at the complex process of mediation between Jewish and American culture in which Jewish writers voice the desire to be both different from and yet the same as other Americans. He argues that the detective story, located at the intersection of narrative and popular culture in modern America, examines the need for order in a disorderly society, and thus offers a window into the negotiation of Jewish identity differing from that of literary fiction. The writers of these popular cultural texts, which are informed by contradiction and which thrive on intended and unintended ironies, formulate idioms for American Jewish identities that intentionally and unintentionally create social, ethnic, and religious syntheses in American Jewish life. Roth examines stories about American Jewish detectives--including Harry Kemelman's Rabbi Small, Faye Kellerman's Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, Stuart Kaminsky's Abe Lieberman, and Rochelle Krich's Jessica Drake--not only as a genre of literature but also as a reflection of contemporary acculturation in the American Jewish popular arts., Inthis book, Laurence Roth argues that the popular genre of Jewish detective stories offers new insights into the construction of ethnic and religious identity.

- v***4 (124)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaPurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.(D) #56W - Williams 43471 O Gauge Custom Pullman 60 Ft.
