How did American Jewish men experience manhood, and how did they
present their masculinity to others? In this distinctive book,
Sarah Imhoff shows that the project of shaping American Jewish
manhood was not just one of assimilation or exclusion. Jewish
manhood was neither a mirror of normative American manhood nor its
negative, effeminate opposite. Imhoff demonstrates how early
20th-century Jews constructed a gentler, less aggressive manhood,
drawn partly from the American pioneer spirit and immigration
experience, but also from Hollywood and the YMCA, which required
intense cultivation of a muscled male physique. She contends that
these models helped Jews articulate the value of an acculturated
American Judaism. Tapping into a rich historical literature to
reveal how Jews looked at masculinity differently than Protestants
or other religious groups, Imhoff illuminates the particular
experience of American Jewish men.
