Von der hinteren Coverseite

Searching for some well-traveled humor? Look no further than this innovative collection, which investigates Jewish humor in television, film, comedy performance, and literature in global contexts. This wide-ranging compilation of Jewish "humors"--from the fallout of a Holocaust joke told in Japan to reevaluations of Jewish comedic themes from Kafka and Seinfeld--highlights the transnationality of Jewish identity while emphasizing how Jewish culture shifts in unexpected ways across time and place. By decentering both the US and Ashkenazi identity in Jewish humor studies, this collection broadens our understanding of both Jewish cultural production and global humor.
