Miriam Eve Mora, "Carrying a Big Schtick: Jewish Acculturation & Masculinity in the 20th Century"

For twentieth-century Jewish immigrants and their children attempting to gain full access to American society, performative masculinity was a tool of acculturation. However, as scholar Miriam Eve Mora demonstrates, this performance was consistently challenged by American mainstream society that held Jewish men outside of the American ideal of masculinity. Join us as we learn about this fascinating topic.
