Research Abstract

Postmodernism is often accused of its political apathy and lack of social and historical awareness. Yet there are some Postmodern Jewish American writers who created their works with the strong sense of otherness, which Postmodern Jewish thinkers regard as indispensable to prevent another Holocaust in the future. This study clarified those Postmodern Jewish American writers' Postmodern Humanism with social and historical awareness and analyzed their original literary arts open to the future and the other.
