Anna Foa's richly innovative history of Jewish life in Europe from
the fourteenth through the nineteenth century breaks through the
boundaries of traditional narratives. Instead of featuring a long
series of catastrophes and cataclysms and the Jews' responses to
them, Foa concentrates on the creative aspects of Jewish life, and
on continuities and correspondences among very different local
Jewish communities.
Foa's illuminating overview of the issues and debates that have
dominated the study of Western European Jewish society more than
justifies her blending of narrative history with thematic
investigations. This is, perhaps surprisingly, the story of a
stability that underlies and survives change. In a new afterword,
prepared expressly for the English edition, Foa talks about the
twentieth century's two transforming phenomena, Zionism and the
Holocaust, and the ways they have changed Jewish identity and
historiography.
