Jew in American Cinema

Placing cinematic representations of the "Jew" within their historical context, Bartov demonstrates the powerful political, social, and cultural impact of these images on popular attitudes. He argues that these representations generally fall into four categories: the "Jew" as perpetrator, as victim, as hero, and as anti-hero. Examples range from film's early days to the present, from Europe, Israel, and the United States.Erens, Patricia is the author of 'Jew in American Cinema' with ISBN 9780253204936 and ISBN 0253204933.
