Space Shaping Ethnic Identity – the Jewish Newark in the Novels of Philip Roth

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

On the basis of two novels by Philip Roth, American Pastoral (1997) and The Plot Against America (2004), the author follows the way the neighborhood of the narrators’ formation affects the shaping of their ethnic identity. Its residents have few qualities determining Jewishness. The characters are not religious and their only language is English. Due to their memories of their childhood among the neighbors referring to themselves as Jews, they developed their own Jewish identity.
