Item Description: | "The concept of ethnicity, once in vogue, has largely gone out of fashion among twenty-first-century social scientists, now replaced by models of assimiliation defined in terms of the construction of whiteness and white supremacy. The essays presented here, ranging from comparative studies of Jews and Asians as 'model minorities' to the examination of postethnic 'Jews of color,' demonstrate that expanding ethnicity beyond the traditional Eurocentric frame can yield fresh insights into the character of Jewish life in the modern United States."--Back cover. |
