Smoothing the Jew

"Abie the Agent" and Ethnic Caricature in the Progressive Era

Omschrijving

Both the object of admiration and anxiety, Jewish immigrants to the United States at the turn of the nineteenth century were often depicted in derogatory caricatures. Smoothing the Jew investigates how Jewish artists of the time attempted to “smooth over” these demeaning images, focusing on the first Jewish comic strip published in English, Harry Hershfield’s Abie the Agent.
