Résumé



By interrogating myths and stereotypes and looking at themes of remembering and forgetting, belonging and alienation, location and dislocation, Ruth Gilbert examines how these writers identify the particularity of their difference - while acknowledging that this difference is neither fixed nor final, but always open to re-interpretation.

Writing Jewish Résumé

Writing Jewish: Contemporary British-Jewish Literature Ruth Gilbert

British-Jewish writers are increasingly addressing challenging questions about what it means to be both British and Jewish in the twenty-first century. Writing Jewish provides a lively and accessible introduction to the key issues in contemporary British-Jewish fiction, memoirs and journalism, and explores how Jewishness exists alongside a range of other different identities in Britain today.

By interrogating myths and stereotypes and looking at themes of remembering and forgetting, belonging and alienation, location and dislocation, Ruth Gilbert examines how these writers identify the particularity of their difference - while acknowledging that this difference is neither fixed nor final, but always open to re-interpretation.
