Jewish-American Identity and Critical Intercultural Communication - Never Forget, Tikkun Olam, and Kindness to Strangers

The book explores Jewish US American identity beyond the white and educated "model minority" stereotype. Jewish life and Judaism are explored across personal, socio-cultural, and political-global implications, arguing for more inclusive approaches to relationships among race, ethnicity, culture, and religion in theory, teaching, and practice.
