Product Description
Why would an American ethnic group use racist terms, such as "JAP", "the Jewish prince', and the "ghetto girl", to describe itself? In her history of Jewish acculturation during the twentieth century, Riv-Ellen Press addresses this compelling question as she observes how deeply anti-Semitic stereotypes--particularly gender stereotypes--infuse Jewish men's and women's views of one another.
