The Other Jewish Question: Identifying the Jew and Making Sense of Modernity
by Jay Geller
Fordham University Press, 2011

From the publisher’s website: Will appeal to readers interested in psychoanalysis, in Jewish studies, in cultural studies, and in the whole question of “the body,” which has been so intensely discussed in recent years. Maps the dissemination of and possible interrelationships among these corporeal signifiers in Germanophone cultures between the Enlightenment and the Shoah. Geller is known as a pioneer in Jewish studies, especially in its cultural studies mode.
