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.
