The journey is central to the Jewish experience and the
construction of Jewish identities across time and place.
Remarkably, however, it has received almost no scholarly attention.
This multi-disciplinary collection - embracing approaches from
Jewish studies, migration studies, cultural and historical studies,
literary criticism, religious studies, ethnic and racial studies,
geography, and anthropology - opens up this important area. The
book deals with both physical and spiritual Jewish journeys, as
well as cultural and intellectual ones, exploring the relationship
between these different categories and demonstrating that it is
indeed difficult to separate the process of movement involving mind
and body. The scholarly essays are divided into four sections: The
Nature of Jewish Journeys; Body, Identity, and Gender; Intellectual
and Cultural Transmission; and Journeys and Families. The essays
combine theoretical sophistication with detailed case studies and
are all accessible to a wide readership reflecting the intrinsic
interest of the subject matter. Source material varies from
television, popular music, shipping records, and testimony through
to ancient religious texts. Jewish Journeys offers a path-breaking
contribution to wider scholarship of migration and settlement.
