Outline of proposed changes
The Jewish Self-Portrait in European and American Literature

The articles in this collection contains a comprehensive list of international works from the University of Haifa and is centralized around American and European works."Jewish Fantasy Worldwide" | https://dc.swosu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3198&context=mythlore

This article encompasses a broad overview of Jewish speculative literature, including that of the United States. This article can serve as the basis for a speculative fiction passage, as it covers the trends of Jewish fantasy and the basis for the genre.

Jewish American Writing Since 1945

This book focuses specifically on modern and contemporary Jewish American writers, with emphases in the postmodern, metafiction, and the "masternarrative," which may tie into speculative fiction. The article currently is a stub on its focus of contemporary Jewish writers, while this article can fill in the gap of the themes addressed today and which works embody those topics.

"The Destruction of Israel and Other Fantasies in Jewish American Literature"

This article focuses on recent Jewish American Speculative Literature, including the masterwork The Yiddish Policemen's Union, as well as the themes that comprises these contemporary works, including what makes such a piece "Jewish." This article would beautifully complement the "Jewish Fantasy Worldwide" article, as it covers topics not noted in the other article, such as otherness and the destruction of Israel.

African, Native, and Jewish American Literature and the Reshaping of Modernism

Chapter three of this book covers Jewish American Modernism in literature, which provides an important basis for 20th-century Jewish American stories and could pertain to speculative literature, or at least as a complement to the "Present Day" section. The first part of this chapter focuses on themes, an overview, while the latter half covers specific examples and how they evoke these themes.

"Jewish Science Fiction and Fantasy: A Primer" | https://uncannymagazine.com/article/jewish-science-fiction-and-fantasy-a-primer/

This article, though in a non-scholarly source, is the most direct in its relevance for Jewish speculative literature. The author, however, is highly credible, having been nominated for the Hugo award sixteen times, wrote the article of Jewish Science Fiction for the Encyclopedia of American Jewish History, and has maintained a bibliography of Jewish Science Fiction since the 1990s, making him a highly reliable source for information, despite being published in a science fiction magazine. This article covers the different types of Jewish sci-fi, as well as what Jewish themes are covered and how, along with an extensive example of works.
