Paperback. Condición: New. Shoes are an integral part of Jewish material culture. Although they appear in some of the most foundational biblical stories, they are generally regarded as no more than lowly, albeit essential, accessories. Jews and Shoes takes a fresh look at the makings and meanings of shoes, cobblers, and barefootedness in Jewish experience. The book shows how shoes convey theological, social, and economic concepts, and as such are intriguing subjects for inquiry within a wide range of cultural, artistic, and historic contexts. The book's multidisciplinary approach encompasses a wide range of contributions from disciplines as diverse as fashion, visual culture, history, anthropology, Bible and Talmud, and performance studies. Jews and Shoes will appeal to students, scholars and general readers alike who are interested to find out more about the practical and symbolic significance of shoes in Jewish culture since antiquity.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In his historic play ""The Melting Pot"", Israel Zangwill (1864-1926) introduced into our discourse a potent metaphor that for nearly a hundred years has served as a key definition of the United States. The play, enthusiastically espoused by President Theodore Roosevelt, to whom it was dedicated, offered a grand vision of America as a dynamic process of ethnic and racial amalgamation. By his own admission, ""The Melting Pot"" grew out of Zangwill's intense involvement in issues of Jewish immigration and resettlement and was grounded in his interpretation of Jewish history. Zangwill, Anglo Jewry's most renowned writer, began writing seriously for the stage in the late 1890s. At the time, the negative stereotype of the so-called Stage Jew was still deeply entrenched in the theatrical mainstream, so much so that Jewish playwrights writing for the English-language stage avoided altogether the portrayal of Jewish life. Zangwill shattered this silence in 1899 with the American premiere of ""Children of the Ghetto"" - his first full-length drama, and the first English-language play devoted in its entirety to the depiction of Jewish life in an authentic and positive fashion. The play's groundbreaking production drew tremendous attention and generated heated debates, but since the script was never published, the memory of the passions it generated dimmed, and its whereabouts eventually became unknown. After more than a century, theater historian Edna Nahshon has discovered the original manuscript of this milestone text, as well as that of another unpublished Zangwill play, ""The King of Schnorrers"", and the original version of ""The Melting Pot"". Nahshon brings these three works together in print for the first time in ""From the Ghetto to the Melting Pot"". Though written and produced over a period of twenty-five years and not conceived as a trilogy, the three plays are united in this volume by virtue of their shared Jewish subject matter. Read in historical sequence, they take us on a two-hundred-year journey that begins in eighteenth-century London, with its intra-jewish tensions farcically depicted in ""The King of Schnorrers"", then proceeds to the nineteenth-century London Ghetto struggling at a crossroads between tradition and modernity, as portrayed in ""Children of the Ghetto"", and finally reaches the shores of twentieth-century America, where the survivor of a Russian pogrom advocates intermarriage and delivers a messianic gospel of tolerance and racial fusion in ""The Melting Pot"". Edna Nahshon's in-depth introduction to this volume includes a biography of Israel Zangwill that especially pertains to these works and situates them within the Anglo-American theater of the time. The essays preceding each play provide rich and hitherto unknown information on the scripts, their stage productions, and their popular and critical reception. While some issues addressed in ""From the Ghetto to the Melting Pot"" are uniquely Jewish, others are universal. …
