Book Synopsis Superman Is Jewish? by : Harry Brod
Download or read book Superman Is Jewish? written by Harry Brod. This book was released on 2016-01-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Harry Brod situates superheroes within the course of Jewish-American history: they are aliens in a foreign land, like Superman; figures plagued by guilt for abandoning their families, like Spider-Man; and outsiders persecuted for being different, like the X-Men. Brod blends humor and sharp observation as he considers the overt and discreet Jewish characteristics of these well-known figures and explores how their creators integrated their Jewish identities and their creativity."--From publisher description.
