Jews, Race and Popular Music

More about the book

Jon Stratton examines how societal perceptions of Jews influenced their involvement in music, revealing both similarities and differences among the three regions. The book delves into race as a cultural construct and contributes to Jewish Studies by analyzing the racialization and stereotyping of Jews, providing a nuanced understanding of their relationship with popular music.
