| adam_text | Ղ ո a polemic against the unexamined foundations and stagnant state of the field, Benjamin Schreier interrogates a series of professionally powerful clichés about Jewish American literary history and how they came into being. He offers a critical genealogy of the so-called “breakthrough” of authors such as Bernard Malamud, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, and Grace Paley into the American literary mainstream during the 1950s and other accounts through which Jewish Studies has asserted its compelling historicist self-evidence—not simply for the historical realities Jewish Studies claims to represent but more fundamentally for the intellectual and institutional structures through which it produces these representations. He shows how a scholarly narrative quickly consolidated and became hegemonic, in part because of its double articulation of a particular American subject and of a transnational history that categorically identified that subject as Jewish. The ethnological grounding of the Jewish American literary field is no longer tenable, Schreier asserts, in an argument with broad implications for the reconceptualization of Jewish and other identity-based ethnic studies.
