The concept of ethnicity, once in vogue, has largely gone out of
fashion among twenty-first-century social scientists, now replaced
by models of assimilation defined in terms of the construction of
whiteness and white supremacy. Beyond Whiteness: Revisiting Jews in
Ethnic America explores the benefits of reconfiguring the ethnic
concept as a tool to analyze the experiences of twentieth-century
American Jews—not only in relation to other "white" groups of
European descent, but also African Americans and Asian Americans,
among others. 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.
