Changing Focus: Family Photography and American Jewish Identity

Contributors include Marlene Booth, Michelle Citron, Muriel Hasbun, Marianne Hirsch, Joanne Leonard, Laura Levitt, Lorie Novak, and Ruth Ost.

This issue began as a kind of cross-genre exploration. It was to bring together family photographs and texts and to do so within the context of an Internet journal. As the issue began to come together all involved came to see the use of the Internet as an added benefit. It was going to allow us to include not only images and texts but to play with the capabilities of the net to reproduce moving images, to make links to already constructed websites and to enable the posting of a new website.
