Constructions of 'The Jew' in English Literature and Society: Racial Representations, 1875-1945
ISBN: 9780521558778 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Literary critics and cultural historians have for too long written the question of race out of mainstream accounts of English literature. In Constructions of "the Jew" in English Literature and Society Bryan Cheyette combines cultural theory, discourse analysis and new historicism with close readings of works by Arnold, Trollope and George Eliot, Buchan and Kipling, Shaw and Wells, Belloc and Chesterton, T. S. Eliot and Joyce to argue that the Jew lies at the heart of modern English literature and society: not as a stereotype, but as the embodiment of confusion and indeterminacy.

ISBN: 9781501318979 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How do (im)migrant writers negotiate their representation of a multilingual world for a monolingual audience? Does their English betray the presence of another language, is that other language erased, or does it appear here and there, on special occasions for special reasons? Do words and meanings wander from one language and one self to another? Do the psychic and cultural worlds of different languages split apart or merge? What is the aesthetic effect of such wandering, splitting, or merging? Usually described as "code-switches" by linguists, fragments of other languages have...

The Ghetto: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780198809951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) For three hundred years the ghetto defined Jewish culture in the late medieval and early modern period in Western Europe. In the nineteenth-century it was a free-floating concept which travelled to Eastern Europe and the United States. Eastern European <"ghettos>", which enabled genocide, were crudely rehabilitated by the Nazis during World War Two as if they were part of a benign medieval tradition. In the United States, the word ghetto was routinely applied to endemic black ghettoization which has lasted from 1920 until the present. Outside of America <"the ghetto>" has been universalized...
