Informationen zum Autor LORI HARRISON-KAHAN teaches in the English department at Boston College and has previously taught at Connecticut College! Harvard University! and the University of Pennsylvania. Klappentext During the first half of the twentieth century! American Jews demonstrated a commitment to racial justice as well as an attraction to African American culture. Until now! the debate about whether such black-Jewish encounters thwarted or enabled Jews' claims to white privilege has focused on men and representations of masculinity while ignoring questions of women and femininity. The White Negress investigates literary and cultural texts by Jewish and African American women! opening new avenues of inquiry that yield more complex stories about Jewishness! African American identity! and the meanings of whiteness.
