Jews, Race and Popular Music

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the racialized identity of Jews in popular music across America, Britain, and Australia, this work offers a series of case studies rather than a linear history. Jon Stratton examines how societal perceptions of Jews influenced their involvement in music, revealing both similarities and differences among the three regions. The book delves into race as a cultural construct and contributes to Jewish Studies by analyzing the racialization and stereotyping of Jews, providing a nuanced understanding of their relationship with popular music.
