Viennese popular culture at the turn of the twentieth century was
the product of the city's Jewish and non-Jewish residents alike.
While these two communities interacted in a variety of ways to
their mutual benefit, Jewish culture was also inevitably shaped by
the city's persistent bouts of antisemitism. This fascinating study
explores how Jewish artists, performers, and impresarios reacted to
prejudice, showing how they articulated identity through
performative engagement rather than anchoring it in origin and
descent. In this way, they attempted to transcend a racialized
identity even as they indelibly inscribed their Jewish existence
into the cultural history of the era.
