	Jewish-American Literature
		That radicalism was the reaction to the misery of living in immigrant slums, of the exploitation of the Jewish workers, and the desperation of the Jewish masses.
		The writer Paul Goodman, whom the historian Irving Howe called a "Jewish intellectual alienated to the point of complete reduction," thought that the fellowship of all humans is enhanced by the Jewish tradition and that the fully Jewish is regarded as the fully human.
		American Jews, fortunately ignorant of what is really meant by the word "Holocaust" and not really willing to listen to the first hand accounts of survivors, enjoy the victim status some assume when these nightmares are discussed in public.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Overview: Yiddish & Ladino Literature
		Jewish literature in Europe can be divided into two broad categories: literature written in traditional Jewish languages--like Yiddish, Hebrew, and Ladino--and literature written in the language of the country the writer happened to live in.
		Since Jewish writers write in so many languages, any attempts to construct a "modern Jewish canon"--such as the landmark effort in 2001 by leading scholars including Harvard's Ruth Wisse and the Hebrew University's Gershon Shaked to draw up a list of 100 Great Jewish Books--tend to be incredibly multilingual lists.
		Like the Yiddish stories, Ladino writers tend to emphasize the need to be happy with one's lot, the wisdom of considering another perspective, and the joy that is still possible despite poverty, discrimination, and persecution.

		In her old age, she took great pride in her Jewish ancestors and considered most of her life to have been a mistake.' The Jewish Century is an exploration of that 'mistake': the love affair of Russian Jews with the Russian Revolution.
		In other words, Jewish upward mobility needs to be added to the upward mobility of Russian workers and peasants and culturally 'backward' Central Asians as a key process in the formation of a new Soviet elite, even though Jews, unlike the other groups, were not the subject of formal state 'affirmative action' programmes.
		In the 1930s, in a paradoxical development noted by Slezkine, both Soviet and American institutions of higher education were producing a generation of Jewish Communists contemptuous of their parents and eager to forget the shtetl.

		She maintained that the term “Jewish writer” was itself an oxymoron.
		A “Jewish” book is one devoted to ethics, liturgy or philosophy; but a work of the imagination should be free of such constraints.

		Many artists and writers feel it is the visually experimental graphic novels that are pushing the boundaries of the field with a sophistication that brings new respect to sequential art.
		As sequential art expands and matures, and as Jewish talents continue to have a hand in the development process, the list of Jewish characters and creators could go on —threading through comics much as the Jewish American experience threads through the entertainment industry.
