This career-spanning anthology from prominent Jewish historian
David Biale brings over a dozen of his key essays together for the
first time. These pieces, written between 1974 and 2016, are all
representative of a method Biale calls "counter-history": "the
discovery of vital forces precisely in what others considered
marginal, disreputable and irrational." The themes that have
preoccupied Biale throughout the course of his distinguished
career-in particular power, sexuality, blood, and secular Jewish
thought-span the periods of the Bible, late antiquity, and the
Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Exemplary essays in this
volume argue for the dialectical relationship between modernity and
its precursors in the older tradition, working together to "brush
history against the grain" in order to provide a sweeping look at
the history of the Jewish people. This volume of work by one of the
boldest and most intellectually omnivorous Jewish thinkers of our
time will be essential reading for scholars and students of Jewish
studies.
