Drawing on a host of movies and television series from the 1970s to present day, \u003ci\u003eJews in Contemporary Visual Entertainment\u003c\/i\u003e explores how the media sexualize and racialize American Jews. Race and sexuality frequently intersect in the depiction of Jewish characters in such shows as \u003ci\u003eThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnREAL\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Expanse\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBreaking Bad\u003c\/i\u003e, and in films such as \u003ci\u003eHester Street\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Time in America\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCasino\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRadio Days\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInglourious Basterds\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBarton Fink\u003c\/i\u003e.
