“A work with a strong academic underpinning, JewAsian is at the same time accessible to all readers interested in how Jewish-Asian couples and their families fit into broader contexts of multiracial identity and religiosity in the United States, as well as of intermarriage historically.”—Times of Israel
“A precious and indispensable contribution. . . . Notions [such as identity or authenticity] and the frameworks that have shaped our understandings of them, are carefully and thoughtfully investigated in a volume that will be useful not only to academics but also to individuals looking for deeper insights into how these subjects play out in everyday American life.”—Tahneer Oksman, H-Judaic
"Scholars of contemporary American society as well as American Jewish and Asian American historians ought to pay attention to JewAsian."—Hasia R. Diner, Ethnic and Racial Studies
"Whether you are Asian, Jewish, both or neither, JewAsian is a thoughtful, engaging, and relevant read given that American society is in the midst of unprecedented religious and ethnic changes."—Laura Simeon, International Examiner
“Essential reading for scholars of intermarriage, inter-partnered couples and families, Jewish outreach professionals, and all students of race, ethnicity, and religion. . . . The alternate narrative Kim and Leavitt offer blasts open the door to new ways of understanding Jewish American, Asian American, and JewAsian identities, challenging dominant racial, ethnic, and interfaith marriage discourses in the process.”—Keren R. McGinity, author of Marrying Out: Jewish Men, Intermarriage, and Fatherhood
