The tangled connections that have bound Jews to African Americans in popular cultural and liberal politics are at the heart of Michael Rogin's arresting and unnerving new book. Looking at films from Birth of a Nation to Forrest Gump, Rogin explores blackface in Hollywood films as an aperture to broader issues: the nature of "white" identity in America, the role of race in transforming immigrants into "Americans", and the social importance of popular culture. 61 illustrations.
