[edit] Description from course catalog
- This course studies ways that Jews redefined Jewish identity after the breakdown of the traditional, autonomous Jewish community and the creation of entirely new sites of Jewish settlement, especially in the United States, made affiliation and the content of Jewishness subjective and extremely varied. Why and how did Jews choose Jewish identity in these circumstances, and what new forms did identity assume? Studies pressures on Jews to renounce or limit Jewishness, social and ideological forces that supported identity formation, class and gender as variables, and selected cases of individual and group expression.
