Hollywood’s Chosen People: The Jewish Experience in American Cinema

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments The editors are grateful for extraordinary help toward the production of this volume received from the Center for Jewish Studies at Arizona State University. Dawn Beeson gave energetic support beyond the call of duty. We also thank our colleagues and friends in Film and Media Studies at ASU for their enthusiastic support during the Stars of David conference, particularly Aaron Baker, Chris Bradley, Dan Cutrara, Kiva James, and Michael Rubinoff. We feel especially grateful to Kiva James and Kevin Sandler. The conference would not have happened, and this book would not have been realized, had it not been for their generosity, diligence, and perspective . We are grateful as well to Terry Gillin and Matthew Thompson (both in Toronto) for generosity and diligence in helping with the manuscript. Our friends and colleagues at Wayne State University Press have been a pleasure to work with. We are indebted to Barry Keith Grant, Jane Hoehner, and Annie Martin for their encouragement, their patience, and their wisdom. ...
