This interdisciplinary anthology explores the impact of current
globalization processes on Jewish communities across the globe. The
volume explores the extent to which nationalized constructs of
Jewish culture and identity still dominate Jewish self-expressions,
as well as the discourses about them, in the rapidly globalizing
world of the twenty-first century. Its contributions address the
ways in which Jewishness is now understood as transcending the old
boundaries and ideologies of nation states and their continental
reconfigurations, such as Europe or North America, but also as
crossing the divides of Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews, as
well as the confines of Israel and the Diaspora. Which new
paradigms of Jewish self- location within the evolving and
conflicting global discourses about the nation, race, the Holocaust
and other genocides, anti-Semitism, colonialism and
postcolonialism, gender and sexual identities open up in the
current era of globalisation, and to what extent might
transnational notions of Jewishness, such as European-Jewish
identity, create new discursive margins and centers? Chapters
explore the impact of the Arab-Israeli conflict on cross-cultural
relations between Jews and other racialized groups in the Diaspora,
and discuss the ways in which recent discourses such as
postcolonialism and transnationalism might relate to global Jewish
cultures. The intent of the volume is to begin a process of
investigation into twenty-first century Jewish identity. This book
was originally published as a special issue of the European Review
of History.
