Queer theory and the Jewish question /
This volume maps the historically resonant intersections between Jewishness and queerness, between homophobia and anti-Semitism, and between queer theory and theorizations of Jewishness. It explores the modern Jewish and homosexual identities which emerged as traces of each.
