How have French Jewish women reacted to the great traumas of the
last century - the Holocaust, North African decolonization and the
resulting migration of African Jews to France, the Arab-Israeli
crisis and the aftermath of 9/11? Cairns's major new volume
identifies the themes of books by French Jewish women from 1945 to
the present day, gauging to what extent they are dominated by,
informed by, or relatively indifferent to these threatening events.
Thirty authors in particular serve as representatives of a great,
and greatly diverse, pool: divided not only as Ashkenazim or
Sephardim, but by origins scattered across Algeria, Egypt, Germany,
Hungary, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Russia, Tunisia, and Turkey.
Theirs is a transnational, doubly-diasporic, and thus particularly
complex paradigm in which feminism, loyalty to family culture and
to the traditions of Judaism often exists in tension with French
Republican models of assimilation, non-differentiation, and
gender-blindness. Lucille Cairns is Professor of French Literature
at the University of Durham.
