4.9/5 (22457 ratings)

Description:This book examines the role of American Jews in the entertainment industry, from the turn of the century to the outbreak of World War II. Eastern European Jewish immigrants are often credited with building a film industry during the first decade of the twentieth century that they dominated by the 1920s. In this study, Steven Carr reconceptualizes Jewish involvement in Hollywood by examining prevalent attitudes towards Jews among American audiences. Analogous to the Jewish Question of the nineteenth century, which was concerned with the full participation of Jews within public life, the Hollywood Question of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s addressed the Jewish population within mass media. This study reveals the powerful set of assumptions concerning ethnicity and media influence as related to the role of the Jew in the motion picture industry.• Not about Jewish influence, but about how cultural ideas constructed a way of seeing the Jew and media • Considers how allegations appeared of Jewish control over Hollywood • Re-examines ‘Hollywood novels’: West’s Day of the Locust, Fitzgerald’s Last Tycoon, and Shulberg’s What Makes Sammy Run?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
