Jewish Frontiers

In this collection of essays, Sander Gilman muses on Jewish memory and representation throughout the 20th century. Bringing together the worlds of literature, medicine and popular culture, Gilman looks at post-diasporic ways of understanding the limits of Jewish identity. Topics include the development of the genre of Holocaust comedy, the imagination of the relationship of the body, disease and identity, and the place of Jews in the multicultural society of the early 21st century.
