A Mark Twain scholar. An African American philosopher. A lesbian
feminist literary critic. A Cuban-American anthropologist. A German
immigrant to the United States. A professor of English at a Jesuit
university. All share their reflections on the interconnectedness
of identities and ideas in People of the Book, the first collection
in which Jewish-American scholars examine how their Jewishness has
shaped and influenced their intellectual endeavors, and how their
intellectual work has deepened their sense of themselves as Jews.
The contributors are highly productive and respected
Jewish-American scholars, critics, and teachers from departments of
English, history, American studies, Romance literature, Slavic
studies, art, women's studies, comparative literature,
anthropology, Judaic studies, and philosophy. Nearly an equal mix
of men and women, the authors of these analytical and
autobiographical essays include white Jews and black Jews;
orthodox, conservative, reform, and totally secular Jews; Jews by
birth and Jews by conversion; heterosexual Jews and homosexual
Jews; past presidents of the Modern Language Association and
American Studies Association and young scholars at the start of
their careers.
