Although these depictions could easily be dismissed as slapstick comedies and sexy dramas about forbidden relationships, Hammerman uses this ethnic imagery to ask meaningful questions about how Jewish identity, multiculturalism, belonging, and relevance are constructed on the stage and silver screen"--Provided by publisher.Jews in motion picturesHasidismJews in popular cultureJews in motion pictures.Hasidism.Jews in popular culture.791.43/652924Hammerman Shaina1705133MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828212703321Silver screen, Hasidic Jews4091621UNINA
