Kafka: Gender, Class, and Race in the Letters and Fictions : Gender, Class and Race in the Letters and Fictions

Elizabeth Boa's new study of Kafka relates gender to other facets of identity. The work locates Kafka's images of the male body and undermining of stereotypes such as the New Woman, the Whore, or the assimiliating Jew in the context of sexist, racist, and militaristic ideology in the early twentieth century.
