Beskrivning
This book analyzes Jewish tropes in popular science fiction ranging from Star Trek and Marvel to other prominent franchises. Sometimes the representation is subtle and thought-provoking; other times, it is limited to cliché and oversimplification of characters. The chapters in this collection examine the representation of Jewish characters in films and franchises including Superman, Lord of the Rings, The Mandalorian, The Twilight Zone, and more to shed light on the broad range of representations of the Jewish experience in popular science fiction and fantasy.

Recensioner i media

Jews in Popular Science Fiction: Marginalized in the Mainstream offers a fascinating series of Jewish-tinted lenses through which to view some of our most widely known science fiction franchises. If you’ve ever wondered about topics such as whether the Ferengi are good for the Jews, or what rabbinic attitudes about zombies are (and where Mel Brooks’s son’s opinions fit into the discussion), then this is the book for you.
