The White Negress: Literature, Minstrelsy, and the Black-Jewish Imaginary
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 Interethnic Imagination: Roots and Passages in Contemporary Asian American Fiction. Caroline Rody. * Modeling Citizenship: Jewish and Asian American Writing. Cathy J. Schlund-Vials
Gish Jen’s coming-of-age novel Mona in the Promised Land (1996) offers a hilarious and timely take on conventional immigrant narratives when its Chinese American protagonist, Mona Chang, converts to Judaism in order to assimilate to the upper-middle-class environment of Scarshill, New York. Jen’s comic send-up of multicultural politics, Americanization, and model-minority identity has proven particularly resonant for literary scholars interested …
