Taylor & Francis Imagining Muslims in South Asia and the Diaspora
Book SynopsisLiterary, cinematic and media representations of the disputed category of the âSouth Asian Muslimâ have undergone substantial change in the last few decades and particularly since the events of September 11, 2001. Here we find the first book-length critical analysis of these representations of Muslims from South Asia and its diaspora in literature, the media, culture and cinema.Contributors contextualize these depictions against the burgeoning post-9/11 artistic interest in Islam, and also against cultural responses to earlier crises on the subcontinent such as Partition (1947), the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and secession of Bangladesh, the 1992 Ayodhya riots , the 2002 Gujarat genocide and the Kashmir conflict. Offering a comparative approach, the book explores connections between artistsâ generic experimentalism and their interpretations of life as Muslims in South Asia and its diaspora, exploring literary and popular fiction, memoir, poetry, news media, and film. The collectiTrade Review"Overall, this is an incredibly rich source of material that challenges dominant Western discourse about Muslim identity as a homogeneous entity. It illustrates the contributing factors to this misrepresentation of Muslim identity and experiences within present and historical depictions of Muslim people and the Islamic faith and for highlighting core texts about Muslim culture and experiences within South Asia written by Muslim authors."Danita Catherine Burke - Journal of International Relations Research - Issue 5 - December 2015This book offers an interesting collection of essays focusing on the image and representations of Islam and Muslim identity and the complications surrounding both. […] In the process of interpreting Muslim identity, the stereotypes created by South Asian writers are challenged by some authors because in their view this means the misrepresentation of Muslim identity and Islam as ideology. This work emphasizes the responsible role of a creative writer as well as academics who can continue the dialogue and clarify the ambiguities surrounding the topic in focus. While some authors fairly believe that if literature or theory fails to deal with the complexities of issues, bridging discourses like art, fiction and film can address certain ambiguities.Nukhbah Taj Langah, Forman Christian College, Lahore, Pakistan in Pacific AffairsTable of ContentsIntroduction: Contexts and Text Part I: Surveying the Field; Comparative Approaches 1.

Taylor & Francis The Rebirth of Antisemitism in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisThe Rebirth of Antisemitism in the 21st Century is about the rise of antizionism and antisemitism in the first two decades of the 21st century, with a focus on the UK.It is written by the activist-intellectuals, both Jewish and not, who led the opposition to the campaign for an academic boycott of Israel. Their experiences convinced them that the boycott movement, and the antizionism upon which it was based, was fuelled by, and in turn fuelled, antisemitism. The book shows how the level of hostility towards Israel exceeded the hostility which is levelled against other states. And it shows how the quality of that hostility tended to resonate with antisemitic tropes, images and emotions. Antizionism positioned Israel as symbolic of everything that good people oppose, it made Palestinians into an abstract symbol of the oppressed, and it positioned most Jews as saboteurs of social âprogressâ. The book shows how antisemitism broke into mainstream politics and how it contamiTrade Review"The contributors to this book, in their political beliefs, their lived experiences and their academic rigour, give key intellectual insights into the antisemitic impacts, heritage and resonances of so-called ‘antizionism’."Mark Gardner MBE, Chief Executive, Community Security Trust (CST), UK"Far from being a fringe phenomenon, antisemitism is today an increasingly troubling presence in mainstream British society, especially in its often stri- dent anti-Zionist manifestations. In this timely and insightful book, David Hirsch and his colleagues address the pertinent issues head-on and offer valuable explanations for the nature of this hostility and the threats it poses. The latter are serious and warrant the detailed scrutiny readers will find in this clarifying volume."Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Professor of English and Jewish Studies, Director of the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, Indiana University, USA"Tracking Jew-hatred through its labyrinths of lies is not thought to make easy reading, but this unmasking of anti-Zionism’s falsity and dishonour is so exhilaratingly assured and eagle-eyed you cannot put it down. An indispensable work."Howard Jacobson, novelist and essayist"Few relationships are as bitterly contested on the left as that between antizionism and antisemitism. No one has done more to clarify that relationship, and what is at stake in seeing it plain, than David Hirsh and the writers, mostly from the democratic and ‘two-state’ left, whose work is collected in this volume. It should be required reading for anyone seeking to enter the debate in the future."Alan Johnson, Founder and Editor of Fathom"These are thoughtful essays by scholars, Jewish and non-Jewish, who were first connected by their opposition to the academic boycott of Israeli academics. They are connected anew in this publication by a bold central argument – that hostility towards the state of Israel exceeds that towards other states and does so in ways that bristle with tropes and feelings that are familiar from older forms of antisemitic hate and violence. Many will disagree, but the real freshness of this book is the connection it proposes between certain political construals of Israel and the real and awful reality of antisemitism, as it is increasingly lived every day. In this it is an important book, the very writing of which is an act of courage – and potentially, of hope."Frances Corner, Warden, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK"This compelling book shows definitively how an ancient, abiding and often murderous hatred, antisemitism, has found, in recent decades, a new and politically-acceptable, even fashionable, way to attack Jews--antizionism."Walter Reich, Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Professor of International Affairs, Ethics and Human Behavior, The George Washington University, USA"David Hirsh, a leading sociologist of contemporary antisemitism, and eleven other authors at the forefront of the struggle against it show how Jews pay the price for redemption when Israel becomes the symbol of ultimate evil. Their book is indispensable for understanding the startling revival of antisemitism in our time."Chad Alan Goldberg, Martindale-Bascom Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA; award-winning author of Citizens and Paupers: Relief, Rights, Race, from the Freedmen’s Bureau to Workfare (2008) and Modernity and the Jews in Western Social Thought (2017)Table of Contents(i) First Preface: Esprit d’escalier: reminiscences of a silent observer of the UCU conference (ii) Second Preface: I guess it doesn't matter any more (iii) Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis unique collaboration between scholars, practitioners and Muslim artists profiles emerging forms of contemporary British Muslim art, prompting a debate about its purpose and its inclusion in UK society. It features analysis of Muslim art as a category, as well as reflective accounts of people working in theatre, popular music, the heritage sector and ancient and modern visual arts, often at the margins of the British arts industry. Dealing with sociological and theological themes as well as art history and practice, the volume provides a timely intervention on a neglected topic. The collection discusses diverse topics including how second- and third-generation British Muslims, as part of a broader generational shift, have reworked Sufi music and traditional calligraphy and fused them with new musical and artistic styles, from Grime to comic book art, alongside consideration of the experiences of Muslim artists who work in the theatre, museums and the performing arts sectoTable of ContentsIntroduction (Sadek Hamid and Stephen H.

Taylor & Francis Contemporary Left Antisemitism
Book SynopsisTodayâs antisemitism is difficult to recognize because it does not come dressed in a Nazi uniform and it does not openly proclaim its hatred or fear of Jews. This book looks at the kind of antisemitism which is tolerated or which goes unacknowledged in apparently democratic spaces: trade unions, churches, left-wing and liberal politics, social gatherings of the chattering classes and the seminars and journals of radical intellectuals. It analyses how criticism of Israel can mushroom into antisemitism and it looks at struggles over how antisemitism is defined. It focuses on ways in which those who raise the issue of antisemitism are often accused of doing so in bad faith in an attempt to silence or smear. Hostility to Israel has become a signifier of identity, connected to opposition to imperialism, neo-liberalism and global capitalism; the âcommunity of the goodâ takes on toxic ways of imagining most living Jewish people.Trade Review‘For more than a decade, David Hirsh has campaigned courageously against the all-too-prevalent demonisation of Israel as the one nationalism in the world that must not only be criticised but ruled altogether illegitimate. This intellectual disgrace arouses not only his indignation but his commitment to gather evidence and to reason about it with care. What he asks of his readers is an equal commitment to plumb how it has happened that, in a world full of criminality and massacre, it is obsessed with the fundamental wrongheadedness of one and only national movement: Zionism.’ — Todd Gitlin, Professor of Journalism and Sociology, Columbia University, USA‘David Hirsh is one of our bravest and most thoughtful scholar-activists. In this excellent book of contemporary history and political argument, he makes an unanswerable case for anti-anti-Semitism.’ — Anthony Julius, Professor of Law and the Arts, UCL, and author of Trials of the Diaspora (OUP, 2010)."David Hirsh writes as a sociologist, but much of the material in his fascinating book will be of great interest to people in other disciplines as well, including political philosophers. Having participated in quite a few of the events and debates which he recounts, Hirsh has done a commendable service by deftly highlighting an ugly vein of bigotry that disfigures some substantial portions of the political left in the UK and beyond." — Matthew H. Kramer FBA, Professor of Legal & Political Philosophy, Cambridge University, UK "A fierce and brilliant rebuttal of one of the Left's most pertinacious obsessions. What makes David Hirsh the perfect analyst of this disorder is his first-hand knowledge of the ideologies and dogmata that sustain it." - Howard Jacobson, Novelist and Visiting Professor at New College of Humanities, London, UK"David Hirsh's new book "Contemporary Left Anti-Semitism" is an important contribution to the literature on the longest hatred. Coming at a time when there is appropriate attention to a resurgence of populist, classic right-wing anti-Semitism, Hirsh's work is a reminder that there is no ideological monopoly on anti-Semitism. As he delineates in detail, using Britain as a jumping off point but speaking more broadly, left-wing anti-Semitism is more challenging to identify but is no less pernicious than its right-wing counterpart. In a highly polarized world, understanding anti-Semitism from wherever it emerges is more vital than ever. Hirsh makes a large contribution toward that imperative." - Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO, Anti-Defamation League, USA "David Hirsh has rightfully emerged as an important voice on the issue of contemporary antisemitsm. He writes with passion but with balance and offers insights, to which we may have been previously oblivious, but, after reading what he has to say, seem utterly obvious. This book is not just for those who care about prejudice and antisemitism. It is also a must read for anyone who cares about the contemporary political landscape. It is a wakeup call for those who believe in the ideals and objective of leftist politics." - Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies, Emory University, United States"David Hirsh is not only one of the foremost analysts and authorities on contemporary antisemitism, he is also one of its most redoubtable opponents." Mark Gardner, Director of Communications, CST, UK"David Hirsh is a relentless investigator into one of the darker corners of contemporary left discourse, always shining a probing, revealing light." Jonathan Freedland, Author and Journalist, The Guardian, UK"The rise of anti-Semitism on the British left -- which reached its apex in Jeremy Corbyn's capturing the leadership of the Labour Party -- is one of the most confounding, and worrisome, developments in contemporary Western politics. A man of the left himself, David Hirsh understands this phenomenon better than anyone, and has the battle scars to prove it." James Kirchick, Foreign Policy Analyst and Journalist, USA "David embodies what academia should be about - nuance, balance, careful evaluation of the merits of every perspective put forward, when disagreeing, doing so in a measured, respectful manner that deals with the issues not personalities, a willingness to subject his views to rigorous critical scrutiny and where called for adjust his views accordingly - he puts all too many of his academic humanities colleagues to shame. Listening to him is an intellectual treat. This fight is about more than Israel. It's about restoring intellectual honesty and professional integrity to the world's institutions of higher learning, which have largely been hijacked by intellectual frauds, moral charlatans and witch-hunting ideological bullies." - Wendy Kahn, National Director, South African Jewish Board of Deputies. "In his book Contemporary Left Antisemitism David Hirsh proves himself to be our foremost diagnostician of a dangerous malaise: antisemitism among people who consider themselves progressive and antiracist. Building on masterly analyses of a series of contemporary case-studies, and approaching antisemitism as a sociocultural and institutional framework rather than a product of individual prejudice, Hirsh exposes the hostile assumptions and defensive obfuscations of left antisemitic discourse, from the continued use of blood libel and conspiracy theories to the implication of inherent deviousness to Jewish motives – the historically shocking observation that many antiracists ‘have been educated to recognize the accusation of antisemitism, rather than the antisemitism itself, as the dirty trick’. Honest, precise and unwavering, Hirsh’s writing is publicly-engaged scholarship at its best. This deeply insightful book is indispensable not only for those wishing to understand contemporary left antisemitism, but for anyone concerned with the moral health of democratic political culture." - Paul Frosh, Department of Communication and Journalism, The Hebrew University of JerusalemIn Contemporary Left Antisemitism, David Hirsh takes on those in Britain and elsewhere who have embraced an anti-imperialist and anti-neoliberal political view and think of themselves as members of the community of the good, but in recent decades have also embraced toxic ways of imagining most Jews. Such "progressives" participate in antisemitism even as they insist they stand against it. They practice a discursive intolerance, expressed in insults, exclusions, purges, and boycott; at the same time, they accuse Jews of crying antisemitism in bad faith.They pour new life into a powerful tradition of accusing the Jew, updating it for a new era.Hirsh further suggests that the new antisemitism cloaked as antizionism emerges when progressive politics are shaped by identity and position rather than by commitment to shared democratic values. These good folks think in simple binaries casting Israel as bad and Jews as privileged. The world they see is divided by opposed camps and they cast their lot uncritically with the victimized and the resistant.Hirsh’s study is a useful guide to this new politics and intolerance, which has spread in recent years also to the United States and especially to its universities. Hirsh’s account teases out its key features and assays its impacts – on unions, the courts, the Labour Party, the universities. It is also a powerful story of marginalization and the effort by a brilliant scholar to define an empirical methodology for study of antisemitism and to speak back effectively against bigotry. - Ken Waltzer, Professor Emeritus, Social Relations and Policy, Michigan State University'The empirical richness of the study is, not surprisingly, impressive.' - Lars Rensmann, Antisemitism StudiesTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jewish Languages from A to Z
Book SynopsisJewish Languages from A to Z provides an engaging and enjoyable overview of the rich variety of languages spoken and written by Jews over the past three thousand years. The book covers more than 50 different languages and language varieties. These include not only well-known Jewish languages like Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino, but also more exotic languages like Chinese, Esperanto, Malayalam, and Zulu, all of which have a fascinating Jewish story to be told. Each chapter presents the special features of the language variety in question, a discussion of the history of the associated Jewish community, and some examples of literature and other texts produced in it. The book thus takes readers on a stimulating voyage around the Jewish world, from ancient Babylonia to 21st-century New York, via such diverse locations as Tajikistan, South Africa, and the Caribbean. The chapters are accompanied by numerous full-colour photographs of the literary treasures proTrade Review'Finally!

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Roots of Jewish Consciousness Volume One
Book SynopsisThe Roots of Jewish Consciousness, Volume One: Revelation and Apocalypse is the first volume, fully annotated, of a major, previously unpublished, two-part work by Erich Neumann (19051960). It was written between 1934 and 1940, after Neumann, then a young philosopher and physician and freshly trained as a disciple of Jung, fled Berlin to settle in Tel Aviv. He finished the second volume of this work at the end of World War II. Although he never published either volume, he kept them the rest of his life.The challenge of Jewish survival frames Neumann's work existentially. This survival, he insists, must be psychological and spiritual as much as physical. In Volume One, Revelation and Apocalypse, he argues that modern Jews must relearn what ancient Jews once understood but lost during the Babylonian Exile: that is, the individual capacity to meet the sacred directly, to receive revelation, and to prophesy. Neumann interprets scriptural and intertestamentaTrade Review"'The Jewish problem and my work on it ended for me precisely at a time when it became conspicuous in the world in an indescribably ghastly way' (Neumann in 1945, at the end of World War II). I was the living witness of this ghastliness when I met Neumann in 1948. Being a survivor of Auschwitz with my whole family murdered, my god had only one face, and I was in dire need of help. Help came in the compassionate form of Erich Neumann, whose god had two faces.It is an extraordinary experience to trace the development of Neumann’s early thoughts from revelation to the actualization of messianism in this remarkable book. Many cornerstones of Neumann’s opus are already in his Roots of Jewish Consciousness: the covenant between God and his people; God holding the opposites together; the ego–Self axis; the transcendent function; secondary personalization; and foremost, the emphasis on a strong ego as the conditio sine qua non for moral man. In this thoughtful and profound publication, Neumann shows himself to be the independent thinker he was, vis-à-vis the first generation of Jungians who were fascinated by the unconscious. At a meeting between Erich Neumann and Gershom Scholem in 1959, in Neumann’s flat in Tel Aviv, he asked me to just listen to their conversation. What a conversation! The atmosphere in the room was charged, with both men evidently in the grip of strong emotions. They had a long and rather loud discussion. Would Neumann have changed something in his writing if destiny had given him more time?" - Dvora Kutzinski, Jungian analyst; friend and supervisee of Dr. Erich Neumann, Tel Aviv, Israel"Unsurprisingly, Volume One of this previously unpublished work of Erich Neumann delivers exactly what the title states in clear, and scholarly, labored depth and breadth. For me, a Jewish reader, it stirs my Jewish soul and roots. But it is much more than a history and analysis of the roots of Jewish consciousness. To those familiar with Jungian theory, this work puts additional meat on the structural bones of some of Jung’s theories, most particularly his theory of the collective unconscious. And beyond that, for those who will give a reflective reading of this profound work, it does throw light in evolutionary terms on the eruption of the shadow and psychic chaos in today’s world. Neumann’s analyses of the historical and psychic influence not only his Jewish roots, but those of the spirit of the times as reflected in Gnosticism and Christianity as well as a radical view of the responsibility of the Jewish individual in today’s world as the carrier of those roots as compared with Judaism itself. I can think of no other contemporary work on the evolution of the Jewish psyche and its footprint in the world than this work." - Jerome S. Bernstein, M.A.P.C., NCPsyA, Jungian analyst"Neumann was more than a psychologist, as he amply proves here. The volume spans centuries and delves deeply into human psychology, ancient and modern culture, and offers special wisdom regarding evolving history. Though the subject matter is ponderous and at times dark, there is an infusion of positivity and hope that can perhaps best be seen in Neumann’s watercolor artworks, depicting in a bold hue and childlike realism Moses’ vision of the Holy Land and Joseph’s dream. Scholars and thoughtful individuals, as well as students of history, Jewish culture, and psychology, will doubtless seize the opportunity to read this most recently recovered treatise by one of the twentieth century’s boldest and most innovative thinkers." - Barbara Bamberger Scott, The US Review of BooksTable of ContentsList of Illustrations.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jewish Culture and Society in Medieval France and
Book SynopsisThese studies explore the history of the Jewish minority of Ashkenaz (northern France and the German Empire) during the High Middle Ages. Although the Jews in medieval Europe are usually thought to have been isolated from the Christian majority, they actually were part of a ''Jewish-Christian symbiosis.'' A number of studies in the collection focus on Jewish-Christian cultural and social interactions, the foundations of the community ascribed to Charlemagne, and especially on the fashioning of a martyrological collective identity in 1096. Even when Jews resisted Christian pressures they often did so by internalizing Christian motifs and turning them on their heads to argue for the truth of Judaism alone. This may be seen especially in the formation of Jews as martyrs, a trope that places Jews as collective Christ figures whose suffering brings about vicarious atonement. The remainder of the studies delve into the lives and writings of a group of Jewish ascetic pietists, Hasidei AshkenTable of ContentsContents: Introduction. The Jews of Medieval Northern France and Germany (Ashkenaz): A Jewish-Christian symbiosis: the culture of early Ashkenaz; The foundation legend of Ashkenazic Judaism; Rashi's historiosophy in the introductions to his Bible commentaries; The dynamics of Jewish Renaissance and renewal in the 12th century; Honey cakes and Torah: a Jewish boy learns his letters; A pious community and doubt: Jewish martyrdom among northern European Jewry and the story of Rabbi Amnon of Mainz; History, story and collective memory: narrativity in early Ashkenazic culture; From politics to martyrdom: shifting paradigms in the Hebrew narratives of the 1096 crusade riots; Jews and Christians imagining the other in medieval Europe. Medieval German Pietism (Hasidei Ashkenaz): The recensions and structure of Sefer Hasidim; The song of songs in German Hasidism and the school of Rashi: a preliminary comparison; Exegesis for the few and for the many: Judah he-Hasid's biblical commentaries; Narrative fantasies from Sefer Hasidim; The historical meaning of Hasidei Ashkenaz: fact, fiction or cultural self-image?; The devotional ideals of Ashkenazic pietism; Prayer gestures in German Hasidism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Freud and Judaism
Book SynopsisAfter first having been denied, the Jewish element in the works of Freud has been variously studied from many different points of view.In this wide-ranging collection, there can be found studies that are representative of the tendencies in research during the last few years: from the biographical and psychological approach explaining this connection through the existence of a 'particular Jewish tendency' or 'outlook' deriving from the special social and existential condition of the Jew in modern society, to the approach establishing a parallel between the history of thought and of the psychoanalytic institution on the one hand and the history of contemporary Judaism in the face of the phenomenon of assimilation on the other; from the reconstruction of the historical context in which Freud found himself working, to the identification of anti-Jewish drives within clinical practice itself. In the two essays on Moses links are sought between Freud's scientific production and his personal meditation on Judaism, and between his own personal myths and the connection of those with the plan to evolve a positive theory of Judaism in reply to the outbreak of antisemitic racism.Includes a Foreword by Mortimer Ostow and a previously untranslated lecture, "Death and Us", by Sigmund Freud.Table of ContentsFOREWORD -- Preface -- 'Wir Und Der Tod' -- Judaism and Psychoanalysis -- A cultural event within Judaism -- Historical Aspects -- Some thoughts on Freud's attitude during the Nazi period -- Cultural Aspects -- The Jew as an ethical figure -- Humour as a Jewish vocation and the work of Woody Allen -- 'Moses and Monotheism' -- The logic of Freudian research -- Applied Psychoanalytic Studies -- Psychoanalysis between assimilation and proselytism -- Psychopathology of everyday antisemitism

Cambridge University Press Imperial Russias Jewish Question 96 Cambridge Russian Soviet and PostSoviet Studies Series Number 96
Book SynopsisThe reform era in Russia (1855â1881) witnessed the emancipation of the serfs, economic and social change, the reform of all imperial institutions, and the growth of national identity among Russians and the Empire's expanding Jewish population. Consequently, the 'Jewish Question' became one of most hotly debated topics in Russia. Attitudes toward the Jews which evolved during this period persisted up to the Revolution and beyond. This book, based on exhaustive archival research of materials published during the period, studies the interplay of public opinion and official policy. The author examines the attitudes of all sectors of Russian educated society towards the Jews. He also explores how a new group, the Russian Jewish intelligentsia, sought to define a modern Jewish identity in the midst of a multi-ethnic Empire.Table of ContentsPart I.
