SAN DIEGO (Press Release) –Dr. Eliza Slavet discusses some of the ideas in her book Racial Fever: Freud and the Jewish Question during Friday evening services, April 16, at Congregation Dor Hadash.
What makes a person Jewish? Why do some people feel they have physically inherited the memories of their ancestors? Is there any way to think about race without reducing it to racism or to physical differences?
Dr. Slavet teaches at UCSD and has published several articles and essays on Freud and Jewishness. She holds degrees in literature and in music performance from Yale University and UCSD.
