  • Bieganski: The Brute Polak Stereotype in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture

    by Danusha Goska ...
    In this controversial study, Goska exposes one stereotype of Poles and other Eastern Europeans. In the "Bieganski" stereotype, Poles exhibit the qualities of animals.

    Series series Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture
    This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God.
