Title: Legacy of rage
Description: "In books, television programs, and films, Jewish men are often depicted as erudite, comedic, malleable, and nonthreatening - somewhere between Clark Kent and the early Woody Allen. Yet as Warren Rosenberg shows in this illuminating study, this widespread cultural image is not only overly simplistic, it is at odds with a legacy of Jewish male violence that goes back to the first chapters of Genesis when Cain slew Abel."--BOOK JACKET.
