Beyond Chrismukkah
Author: Samira K. Mehta
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469636379
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The rate of interfaith marriage in the United States has risen so radically since the sixties that it is difficult to recall how taboo the practice once was. How is this development understood and regarded by Americans generally, and what does it tell us about the nation's religious life? Drawing on ethnographic and historical sources, Samira K. Mehta provides a fascinating analysis of wives, husbands, children, and their extended families in interfaith homes; religious leaders; and the social and cultural milieu surrounding mixed marriages among Jews, Catholics, and Protestants. Mehta's eye-opening look at the portrayal of interfaith families across American culture since the mid-twentieth century ranges from popular TV shows, holiday cards, and humorous guides to "Chrismukkah" to children's books, young adult fiction, and religious and secular advice manuals. Mehta argues that the emergence of multiculturalism helped generate new terms by which interfaith families felt empowered to shape their lived religious practices in ways and degrees previously unknown. They began to intertwine their religious identities without compromising their social standing. This rich portrait of families living diverse religions together at home advances the understanding of how religion functions in American society today.

It's Chrismukkah time of year again -- yet all across America, Jews, Christians and even famous Chrismukkan Sean Penn can't figure out how to celebrate this blessed day (or couple of days, maybe). Thank goodness we have Chrismukkan scholar Gersh Kuntzman to share the historical origins and rituals associated with this mixed-faith hybrid holiday. Whether discussing traditional Chrismukkah rites such as "the Measuring of the Children," "the Refusal of the Gift," or "the Burning of the Sacred Herbaceous Green Plant," offering recipes for such Chrismukkah delicacies as Ham Latkes and Savory Oyster Hammentaschen, or uncovering the long-lost Charles Dickens novella A Chrismukkah Carol , Kuntzman's wildly entertaining Chrismukkah treasury is the perfect remedy from those other holidays.

The Public Work of Christmas
Author: Pamela E. Klassen
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773557962
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Christmas is not a holiday just for Christians anymore, if it ever was. Embedded in calendars around the world and long a lucrative merchandising opportunity, Christmas enters multicultural, multi-religious public spaces, provoking both festivity and controversy, hospitality and hostility. The Public Work of Christmas provides a comparative historical and ethnographic perspective on the politics of Christmas in multicultural contexts ranging from a Jewish museum in Berlin to a shopping boulevard in Singapore. A seasonal celebration that is at once inclusive and assimilatory, Christmas offers a clarifying lens for considering the historical and ongoing intersections of multiculturalism, Christianity, and the nationalizing and racializing of religion. The essays gathered here examine how cathedrals, banquets, and carols serve as infrastructures of memory that hold up Christmas as a civic, yet unavoidably Christian holiday. At the same time, the authors show how the public work of Christmas depends on cultural forms that mark, mask, and resist the ongoing power of Christianity in the lives of Christians and non-Christians alike. Legislated into paid holidays and commodified into marketplaces, Christmas has arguably become more cultural than religious, making ever wider both its audience and the pool of workers who make it happen every year. The Public Work of Christmas articulates a fresh reading of Christmas – as fantasy, ethos, consumable product, site of memory, and terrain for the revival of exclusionary visions of nation and whiteness – at a time of renewed attention to the fragility of belonging in diverse societies. Contributors include Herman Bausinger (Tübingen), Marion Bowman (Open), Juliane Brauer (MPI Berlin), Simon Coleman (Toronto), Yaniv Feller (Wesleyan), Christian Marchetti (Tübingen), Helen Mo (Toronto), Katja Rakow (Utrecht), Sophie Reimers (Berlin), Tiina Sepp (Tartu), and Isaac Weiner (Ohio State).
