from Egypt that is read at the Passover seder, cinema offers a valuable text from
which to gain an understanding of the social, political, and cultural realities of
Jews in America. In an industry strongly influenced by Jewish filmmakers who made
and continue to make the decisions as to which films are produced, the complex and
evolving nature of the American Jewish condition has had considerable impact on American
cinema and, in particular, on how Jews are reflected on the screen. This groundbreaking
study analyzes select mainstream films from the beginning of the sound era to today
to provide an understanding of the American Jewish experience over the last century.
In the first half of the twentieth century, Hollywood's movie moguls, most of whom
were Jewish, shied away from asserting a Jewish image on the screen for fear that
they might be too closely identified with that representation. Over the next two decades,
Jewish moviemakers became more comfortable with the concept of a Jewish hero and with
an overpowered, yet heroic, Israel. In time, the Holocaust assumed center stage as
the single event with the greatest effect on American Jewish identity. Recently, as
American Jewish screenwriters, directors, and producers have become increasingly comfortable
with their heritage, we are seeing an unprecedented number of movies that spotlight
Jewish protagonists, experiences, and challenges."--Publisher's website
