Ten newly commissioned projects examine the complexities of
contemporary Jewish American identity While American Jews are
commonly considered a homogenous ethnic group, the reality today is
far more complex. Conversion, adoption, intermarriage, and
immigration have transformed the fabric of Jewish communities, as
they have the United States as a nation. This fascinating book
explores questions of American Jewish identity and how Jews fit
today into larger discourses of race, ethnicity, and religion.
Featuring ten photographic and video projects by emerging and
mid-career artists, all commissioned by The Jewish Museum, the book
presents a range of provocative discussions of the nature of Jewish
identity in 21st-century America. Susan Chevlowe discusses how the
artists explore individual communities to dispel stereotypes of
contemporary Jewish life, and Ilan Stavans dissects the diversity
of American Jews over the last century. In illuminating interviews
with the artists, Joanna Lindenbaum provides insights into their
ideas and methods. A beautifully illustrated portfolio of each of
the commissioned works immerses the viewer in a distinctive
community, revealing complex and often surprising ways in which
Jewish Americans grapple with their identity. Participating
artists: * Dawoud Bey * Tirtza Even and Brian Karl * Rainer Ganahl
* Nikki S. Lee * Yoshua Okon * Jaime Permuth * Andrea Robbins and
Max Becher * Shari Rothfarb and Avishai Mekonen * Jessica Shokrian
