Jewish Studies, the first volume in a ground breaking new series,
Key Words in Jewish Studies, introduces the basic approach of the
series by organizing discussion around key concepts in the field
that have emerged over the last two centuries: history and science,
race and religion, self and community, identity and memory. The
book is oriented by contemporary critical theory, especially
feminist and postcolonial studies, and the multidisciplinary
approaches of cultural studies. By looking backward and
forward--and across continents and disciplines--to unearth the
evolution of the scholarly study of Jews, Andrew Bush provides a
comprehensive introduction to the development of Jewish studies
from the turn of the nineteenth century to the present. In the
course of engaging scholarship on periods from the classical to the
contemporary and from the disciplines of history, philosophy,
sociology, anthropology, psychology, and literary studies, Bush
questions male-dominated and Ashkenazi-centric visions of the
field. He concludes with an experimental exposition of a new Jewish
studies for a time where attention to difference has overtaken the
security of canons and commonalities.
