The book examines the portrayal of Jews in film and television from the 1970s to the present, highlighting the sexualization and racialization of Jewish characters. It analyzes how shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and films such as Inglourious Basterds challenge American sexual norms through their often anti-Semitic representations. By exploring the intersection of race and sexuality, the work reveals the broader implications of these media depictions on societal perceptions of Jewish identity.
