Book excerpt: In his opening remarks, Silberstein (Jewish studies, Lehigh U.) reflects on the current trend of viewing identity as a mapping process of becoming rather than a fixed construct to be traced. Essays by 13 other US and Israeli contributors further advance this non-essentialist perspective in regard to Jewish identity viewed through personal narratives, photographs, Spiegelman's Holocaust Maus comic books, the Yiddish question, a critique of Zionist ideology, Israeli identity and literature, Judeo-Christian kinship, sex differences as discussed in Levinas' work, and postmodern ideas of individuation without identity. c.
