In the "Bieganski" stereotype, Poles exhibit the qualities of animals. They are strong, stupid, violent, fertile, anarchic, dirty, and especially hateful in a way that more evolved humans are not. Their special hatefulness is epitomized by Polish anti- Semitism. Bieganski discovers this stereotype in the mainstream press, in scholarship and film, in Jews' self-definition, and in responses to the Holocaust. Bieganski's twin is Shylock, the stereotype of the crafty, physically inadequate, moneyed Jew. The final chapters of the book are devoted to interviews with American Jews, which reveal that Bieganski-and Shylock-are both alive and well among those who have little knowledge of Poles or Poland.Jews of Poland.AntisemitismPolandHistory20th centuryStereotypes (Social psychology)PolandHistory20th centuryEthnicityPolandHistory20th centuryJewsPolandPublic opinionHistory20th centuryJewsUnited StatesPublic opinionPolish peopleUnited StatesPublic opinionStereotypes (Social psychology)United StatesPopular cultureUnited StatesPolandEthnic relationsHistory20th centuryUnited StatesEthnic relationsElectronic books.AntisemitismHistoryStereotypes (Social psychology)HistoryEthnicityHistoryJewsPublic opinionHistoryJewsPublic opinion.Polish peoplePublic opinion.Stereotypes (Social psychology)Popular culture305.891/85Goska Danusha V(Danusha Veronica)1036845MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457516503321Bieganski2457431UNINA
