Borrowed Voices

- Writing and Racial Ventriloquism in the Jewish American Imagination

About Borrowed Voices

In this provocative book, Jennifer Glaser examines how racial ventriloquism became a hallmark of Jewish-American fiction, as Jewish writers asserted that their own ethnicity enabled them to speak for other minorities. She offers a nuanced analysis of the technique, judiciously assessing both its limitations and its potential benefits.
