Looking Jewish: The Emergence of Gender, Class and Ethnicity Among Ashkenazi Women in Montreal, 1945-1980
|
| Abstract |
The author examines how Jewish-Canadian identity was inscribed and negotiated on the bodies of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish women in Montreal in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Ashkenazi Jewish-Canadian women, caught in a North American beauty culture that idealized certain physical features, often had a fraught relationship with their own bodies and difficulty determining how they fit into the Canadian model. Drawing largely on personal interviews, as well as women's magazines and cookbooks, the author explores how these women both concealed and revealed their difference and sameness, and how "Jewishness" and "Whiteness" were embodied, coded, and mapped onto the body.
