Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Drawing on sociological studies that document the regularity with which marginalized ethnic groups construct an ethnic identity that focuses on issues of domination, oppression, and victimization in the construction of collective group identity, this paper addresses issues of identity formation in the Jewish American context and investigates the processes that act on the formation of a specific Jewish American identity over time. This paper draws on a random sample and qualitative and quantitative content analyses of 100 short stories written between 1946 and 1995 in its investigation of how victim oriented identities are created out of the more mundane experiences of everyday life. Intended for consumption by Jewish American readers, these stories describe daily life within the Jewish American community, and, with surprising regularity, bring issues of victimization into the imagined experience for their readers. Written by members of the community for other members of the same community, the authors’ presentation of issues of Jewish American identity provides an easily accessible window making visible concerns of at least a portion of that community through time. More specifically, this paper examines how Jewish American short story writers present the Holocaust, victimization, and anti-Semitism as contributing heavily to the processes of identity formation within the community (as verified by field research in several Jewish American communities), and concludes that as the Jewish American community becomes further removed from the events of World War II, the Holocaust is becoming a more salient recurrent reality in the formation of a Jewish American identity that is increasingly tied to issues of victimization.
