Description
The Jewish Joke: An Essay with Examples (Less Essay, More Examples) This engaging exploration delves into the world of Jewish jokes, tracing their evolution and significance. Devorah Baum examines what sets these jokes apart from others, their role in Jewish identity, and how they have been received over time. From self-deprecation to anti-Semitism, politics to sex, Baum's analysis is both light-hearted and insightful. The book features a diverse range of examples, including those from notable figures such as Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Jerry Seinfeld, Freud, and Marx.
