Jewish Anxiety and the Novels of Philip Roth argues that Roth's
novels teach us that Jewish anxiety stems not only from fear of
victimization but also from fear of perpetration. It is impossible
to think about Jewish victimization without thinking about the
Holocaust; and it is impossible to think about the taboo question
of Jewish perpetration without thinking about Israel. Roth's texts
explore the Israel-Palestine question and the Holocaust with
varying degrees of intensity but all his novels scrutinize
perpetration and victimization through examining racism and sexism
in America. Brett Ashley Kaplan uses Roth's novels as springboards
to illuminate larger problems of victimization and perpetration;
masculinity, femininity, and gender; racism and anti-Semitism. For
if, as Kaplan argues, Jewish anxiety is not only about the fear of
oppression, and we can begin to see how these anxieties function in
terms of fears of perpetration, then perhaps we can begin to unpack
the complicated dynamics around the line between the Holocaust and
Israel-Palestine.
