Although most people think ""Generation X"" is a coined label for
the post-Baby Boom generation, since the early 1950s the phrase has
signified a seemingly identity-less group of young people trying to
define themselves within an uncertain, even hostile world.
Resituating the term in its neglected (sub)cultural context, this
work offers a critical assessment of the ""Generation X""
phenomenon and its relation to the fashioning of different
identities within and against the mainstream. Topics include punk
subculture, the Internet, reality television, postmodernism, and
alternative music.
Multiculturalism in the United States has been tricky for Jews.
Remaining outside of the dominant Christian culture yet often
excluded from multicultural agendas, Jews walk a precarious line--a
narrow bridge--between dominance and marginality. Many Jews, aware
of the shaky identity of Jewishness, are deeply involved in all
levels of the multiculturalism debate. But there still exists a
need for careful, reflective analysis of the importance and dangers
of multiculturalism to the Jewish community. What is
multiculturalism? What can it be to the Jews? What can the Jewish
community learn from and contribute to the current debate?Through a
collection of essays by scholars and activists whose writing ranges
from the personal to the philosophical, The Narrow Bridge examines
multiculturalism within and beyond the Jewish community. How does
classism work within the Jewish community? How can synagogues reach
out to gays and lesbians? How have tensions between Jews and Blacks
developed historically and what can we learn from that history? How
can we include Jewish studies in multicultural curricula? This
timely collection of provocative articles makes fine use of these
and other questions, offering us a look at where Jews have stood,
where they now stand, and what they can hope for in the complex
arena of multiculturalism.
