How does one "think" in Jewish? What does it mean to speak in
English of Yiddish as Jewish, as a certain intermediary generation
of immigrants and children of immigrants from Jewish Eastern Europe
has done? A fascination with this question prompted Jonathan
Boyarin, a thinker in critical theory and Jewish ethnography, to
offer the Jewish perspective on the vexed issue of identity
politics presented here. Boyarin's essays explore the ways in which
a Jewish - or, more particularly, Yiddish - idiom complicates the
question of identity. Ranging from explorations of a Lower East
Side synagogue to Fichte's and Derrida's contrasting notions of the
relation between the Jews and the idea of Europe, from the
Lubavitch Hasidim to accounts of self-making by Judith Butler and
Charles Taylor, "Thinking in Jewish" is intended for students of
critical theory, cultural studies and Jewish studies. Jonathan
Boyarin is the author of "Storm from Paradise: The Politics of
Jewish Memory" and is the editor of "The Ethnography of Reading and
Remapping Memory: The Politics of TimeSpace"
