David Hadar
Kommentar
This class will acquaint students with the main traditions of Jewish American literature, from the 1880s to the present moment. For the most part, our reading will consist for of short stories, but will also include novels, poetry, and literary essays, as well academic papers. Through writers like Emma Lazarus, Abraham Cahan, Anzia Yezierska, Y. B. Singer, Delmore Schwarz, Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, Grace Paley, Philip Roth, Cynthia Ozick, and Nicole Krauss, we will engage with the issues of immigration, multilingual literature, religion and secularization, assimilation, the memory of the Holocaust, feminism and masculinity, and anti-Semitism. Our central theme, however, will be the formation of individual and group identity in an ever-changing American environment. Schließen
