Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1983. Third Printing . Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 6" x 9. 461 Pages Indexed. Straight tight book with no noted defects. Sander Gilmnan examines the historiography of Jewsih self-hatred and traces the response of Jewish writers, from the High Middle Ages to contemporary America, to the charge that Jews are unablle to command the language of the larger society in which they live. From Haim be Bezalel to Hainrich Heine, from Karl Marx to the authors of Holocaust memoirs, the Jewish writers Gilman examines all express a fear that their language is somehow different, tainted, Jewish. Behind their self-hatred, Gilman explains, lies the myth of the Jews' hidden language. A concluding look at post-Holocaust literature in Germany and North America reveals that writers such as Philip Roth and Woody Allen deal in new ways with the charge of possessing a damaged and damaging discourse.
