My Sons are Jewish

The Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith

By: Paula Clayman

In her quest to discover the true nature of the question, “Who is a Jew?” author Paula Clayman emphatically unravels many exciting historical facets while tracing biblical lineages and exposing their valuable contributions. My Sons Are Jewish takes you on a journey through the Old Testament and beyond, following the story of the Jews as they carried forth the blessing of Abraham to all the people of the world. Through revisiting the ancient text of the Bible and tracing the steps of the Jews, an unbroken cord is exposed; a cord that conveyed much more than their ancient traditions and heritage. The cord brought forth the religion given to humankind, which foreshadowed all that was to be, and a promise of inheritance to all who choose to receive—including Jews who return to their roots. You will better understand Jewish history and how Christianity, rather than being a “new” religion, is a continuation of the religion of the Jews as given by God. As a result, Christians will better understand their own religious heritage and their Jewish spiritual roots—while the Jewish reader will see how Christianity arose from Judaism in its pure form.

The Social Imperative

Race, Close Reading, and Contemporary Literary Criticism

By: Paula L. Moya

In the context of the ongoing crisis in literary criticism, The Social Imperative reminds us that while literature will never by itself change the world, it remains a powerful tool and important actor in the ongoing struggle to imagine better ways to be human and free. Figuring the relationship between reader and text as a type of friendship, the book elaborates the social-psychological concept of schema to show that our multiple social contexts affect what we perceive and how we feel when we read. Championing and modeling a kind of close reading that attends to how literature reflects, promotes, and contests pervasive sociocultural ideas about race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, Paula M. L. Moya demonstrates the power of works of literature by writers such as Junot Diaz, Toni Morrison, and Helena Maria Viramontes to alter perceptions and reshape cultural imaginaries. Insofar as literary fiction is a unique form of engagement with weighty social problems, it matters not only which specific works of literature we read and teach, but also how we read them, and with whom. This is what constitutes the social imperative of literature.

How We Read Shakespeare's Language

By: Paula Blank

For all that we love and admire Shakespeare, he is not that easy to grasp. He may have written in Elizabethan English, but when we read him, we can't help but understand his words, metaphors, and syntax in relation to our own. Until now, explaining the powers and pleasures of the Bard's language has always meant returning it to its original linguistic and rhetorical contexts. Countless excellent studies situate his unusual gift for words in relation to the resources of the English of his day. They may mention the presumptions of modern readers, but their goal is to correct and invalidate any false impressions. Shakesplish is the first book devoted to our experience as modern readers of Early Modern English. Drawing on translation theory and linguistics, Paula Blank argues that for us, Shakespeare's language is a hybrid English composed of errors in comprehension—and that such errors enable, rather than hinder, some of the pleasures we take in his language. Investigating how and why it strikes us, by turns, as beautiful, funny, sexy, or smart, she shows how, far from being the fossilized remains of an older idiom, Shakespeare's English is also our own.
