Hollywood’s Chosen People
The Jewish Experience in American Cinema
Edited by Daniel Bernardi, Murray Pomerance, and Hava Tirosh-Samuelson
“Ranging from the silent cinema to Streisand, Stiller, and Sandler, this collection not
only tells us much about the ambivalences of the culture in its dealing with American
Jewry but with Hollywood’s Jews as they came to terms with America.”

Millennial Masculinity
Men in Contemporary American Cinema
Edited by Timothy Shary
Millennial Masculinity: Men in Contemporary American Cinema is an anthology addressing
questions in almost every aspect of culture—health, marriage, family, morals, politics,
sexuality, race, and economics—through studies of films about male representation at
the turn of the twenty-first century. In this accessible and sophisticated collection, leading
scholars in film and gender studies regard many issues of men’s roles in American cinema
over the past two decades. This analysis of contemporary films furthers the evolution of
knowledge and dialogue about the nature of masculinity at large.

Film And Risk
Edited by Mette Hjort
“This is a daring, important, inventive book that takes significant ‘risks’ itself, which
result in a dazzling payoff. The array of authors in the volume is striking, and the way
in which the volume tackles the concept of risk from all possible vantage points is
remarkable.”

The Films of Joseph H. Lewis

this collection, which is filled with solid scholarship and presented in a fluent, factual
style.”
