Reviews

"This exciting new book trains our critical attentions on the way Jewishness travels in popular culture and in Cultural Studies. "Coming Out Jewish is a welcome addition to the vibrancy of the new Jewish Cultural Studies."
-Miriam Peskowitz, Emory University
"A brilliantly anxious reading of the state of Jewish identity. Jon Stratton has marked the cultural sites where an occluded, unspoken self-image and a history of given representations might meet. "Coming out Jewish is a work of recovery and innovation."
-Andrew Renton, Lecturer, Art History & Theoretical Studies, Slade School of Fine Art, University College London
"This book makes a crucial bridge between the newly emerging Jewish Studies and Cultural Studies that will be essential reading for critics in both fields as well as all those concerned with issues of identity and multiculturalism."
-Nick Mirzoeff, Associate Professor of Art, SUNY Stony Brook
