Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

"Ponim et circenses" : Jewish identities in circus entertainment, 1870-1933 -- Comic relief : Jewish identities in jargon theater, 1890 to the 1920s -- The loneliness of the limelight : Jewish identities in revue theater, 1898-1933.

At the turn of the century, German popular entertainment was a realm of unprecedented opportunity for Jewish performers. This study explores the terms of their engagement and pays homage to the many ways in which German Jews were instrumental in the birth of an incomparably rich world of popular culture. It traces the kaleidoscope of challenges, opportunities and paradoxes Jewish men and women faced in their interactions with predominantly gentile audiences. Modern Germany was a society riddled by conflicts and contradictory impulses, continuously torn between desires to reject, control and celebrate individual and collective difference. This book demonstrates that an analysis of popular entertainment can be one of the most innovative ways to trace this complicated negotiation throughout a period of great social and political turmoil.
