Summary of David Baddiel's Jews Don´t Count
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The author Charlie Kaufman wrote a novel called Antkind, which was reviewed in the British newspaper the Observer in August 2020. The reviewer, Holly Williams, criticized the book because the narrator operated from a white-male-cis-het perspective. But the narrator was Jewish, and there was no mention of his Jewishness or the issue of Jewishness in the book.
#2 The modern cultural conversation about reassessing great writers from the past in the light of current political understanding is not always negative. In the case of the early twentieth-century novelist Edith Wharton, for example, some have recently argued that she has been overlooked in the canon.
#3 The issue is not that Wharton wrote things that are anti-Semitic, but that she did not include what her characters or herself would say about Jews.
#4 We live in a time where politics is constantly injected into everything. This was evident in a recent BBC documentary about the drama strand Play for Today, which focused on plays that expressed radical politics and social issues.
