Stock Images: What Cookbooks, Advertisements, and Chicken Soup Recipes Tell Us about Jewish America is digital book featuring scholarly essays, creative non-fiction pieces, and annotated exhibits of archival materials. This project incorporates themes of gender, class, race, and religion, drawing on literature in history, commerce, Jewish studies, marketing, anthropology, psychology, and gender studies. By using chicken soup as framing device and primary object of study, Stock Images tells the story of the Ashkenazi Jewish-American community's parallel assimilation into the United States and distinction as an ethnocultural group.
