The Case of the Sexy Jewess : Dance, Gender and Jewish Joke-work in US Pop Culture.

The sexy Jewess moves boldly between neo-burlesque striptease, comedy television, ballet movies, and progressive porn. Bringing sexiness together with race, gender, and class, The Case of the Sexy Jewess looks at embodied joke-work that is most often, but not always meant to be funny.
