Now in paperback, Being Jewish and Doing Justice expands the
standard concept of Jewish Studies. The prologue offers a novel
reading of the idea of 'the people of God,' placing the people
firmly 'in the world.' In this spirit, the book brings argument to
bear on a broad range of contemporary moral, social, and political
controversies, many of them turning on puzzles about identity. The
scope extends from Judaism, Zionism, and anti-Semitism to the
language of race, the status of animals, and the rights of the
child. Drawing on his training as an academic philosopher, his
Jewish education, and his personal experience, author Brian Klug
confronts uncomfortable questions with rigor, candor, and humor.
And while the chapters are not a series of steps in an overall
argument, collectively they develop the title theme: the inner
connection between being Jewish and doing justice. Topical and
controversial, the issues discussed include: whether anti-Zionism
is a form of anti-Semitism Herzl's Jewish opponents in the East End
if anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism are inextricably entangled
what draws America to Israel and what ties Israel to Auschwitz how
the climate of debate about Israel among Jews can be improved
Israel's 'right to exist' the 'race question' on the UK census form
Arthur Balfour's take on 'the Jewish race' ethnicity in America
Black-Jewish relations in Chicago popular attitudes in Britain
towards the 'ritual' slaughter of animals the treatment of animals
in the abattoir and laboratory.
