The gap between the conception of the \"imaginary Jew\" and the \"real Jew\" is a cultural distance that differs over time and place, here seen through the lens of cultural anthropology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eStereotypes of the \"generic Jew\" were not exclusively negative, and are described in five chapters depicting physical, occupational, moral and intellectual, mythical and magical, and religious portraits of \"the Jew.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52607699321112,"sku":"9780803220980","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/inventing-the-jew-antisemitic-stereotypes-in-romanian-and-other-central-east-european-cultures-hardback-9780803220980","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
