This book explores contemporary inflections of blackness in Israel
and foreground them in the historical geographies of Europe, the
Middle East, and North America. The contributors engage with
expressions and appropriations of modern forms of blackness for
boundary-making, boundary-breaking, and boundary-re-making in
contemporary Israel, underscoring the deep historical roots of
contemporary understandings of race, blackness, and Jewishness.
Allowing a new perspective on the sociology of Israel and the realm
of black studies, this volume reveals a highly nuanced portrait of
the phenomenon of blackness, one that is located at the nexus of
global, regional, national and local dimensions. While race has
been discussed as it pertains to Judaism at large, and Israeli
society in particular, blackness as a conceptual tool divorced from
phenotype, skin tone and even music has yet to be explored.
Grounded in ethnographic research, the study demonstrates that many
ethno-racial groups that constitute Israeli society intimately
engage with blackness as it is repeatedly and explicitly addressed
by a wide array of social actors. Enhancing our understanding of
the politics of identity, rights, and victimhood embedded within
the rhetoric of blackness in contemporary Israel, this book will be
of interest to scholars of blackness, globalization, immigration,
and diaspora.
