Schocken Books When General Grant Expelled the Jews Jewish
Book SynopsisOn December 17, 1862, just weeks before Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation, General Grant issued what remains the most notorious anti-Jewish order by a government official in American history. His attempt to eliminate black marketeers by targeting for expulsion all Jews as a class from portions of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi unleashed a firestorm of controversy that made newspaper headlines and terrified and enraged the approximately 150,000 Jews then living in the United States, who feared the importation of European anti-Semitism onto American soil.Although the order was quickly rescinded by a horrified Abraham Lincoln, the scandal came back to haunt Grant when he ran for president in 1868. Never before had Jews become an issue in a presidential contest and never before had they been confronted so publicly with the question of how to balance their American and Jewish interests. Award-winning historian Jonathan D. Sarna gives us the first compl

Schocken Books Jewish Holiday Cooking Revised and Updated on the
Book SynopsisJewish holidays are defined by food. Yet Jewish cooking is always changing, encompassing the flavors of the world, embracing local culinary traditions of every place in which Jews have lived and adapting them to Jewish observance. This collection, the culmination of Joan Nathan’s decades of gathering Jewish recipes from around the world, is a tour through the Jewish holidays as told in food. For each holiday, Nathan presents menus from different cuisines—Moroccan, Russian, German, and contemporary American are just a few—that show how the traditions of Jewish food have taken on new forms around the world. There are dishes that you will remember from your mother’s table and dishes that go back to the Second Temple, family recipes that you thought were lost and other families’ recipes that you have yet to discover. Explaining their origins and the holidays that have shaped them, Nathan spices these delicious recipes with delightful stories about the people w

Schocken Books Russ Daughters Reflections and Recipes from the
Book SynopsisThe former owner/proprietor of the beloved appetizing store on Manhattan’s Lower East Side tells the delightful, mouthwatering story of an immigrant family’s journey from a pushcart in 1907 to “New York’s most hallowed shrine to the miracle of caviar, smoked salmon, ethereal herring, and silken chopped liver” (The New York Times Magazine). When Joel Russ started peddling herring from a barrel shortly after his arrival in America from Poland, he could not have imagined that he was giving birth to a gastronomic legend. Here is the story of this “Louvre of lox” (The Sunday Times, London): its humble beginnings, the struggle to keep it going during the Great Depression, the food rationing of World War II, the passing of the torch to the next generation as the flight from the Lower East Side was beginning, the heartbreaking years of neighborhood blight, and the almost miraculous renaissance of an area from which hundred

Book SynopsisAn exploration into the lives of people who embrace two or more religious traditions, and what this growing community tells us about change in our societyNamed a best book of 2018 by Library JournalIn the United States, we often assume religious and spiritual identity are pure, static, and singular. But some people regularly cross religious boundaries. These “spiritually fluid” people celebrate complex religious bonds, and in the process they blur social categories, evoke prejudice, and complicate religious communities. Their presence sparks questions: How and why do people become spiritually fluid? Are they just confused or unable to commit? How do we make sense of them?When One Religion Isn’t Enough explores the lives of spiritually fluid people, revealing that while some chose multiple religious belonging, many more inherit it. For many North Americans, the complicated legacies of colonialism are part of their fam

MP - University Of Minnesota Press Unconditional Equality Gandhis Religion of Resistance Cultural Critique Books
Book Synopsis Unconditional Equality examines Mahatma Gandhi's critique of liberal ideas of freedom and equality and his own practice of a freedom and equality organized around religion. It reconceives satyagraha (passive resistance) as a politics that strives for the absolute equality of all beings.Trade Review"The field of Gandhi-studies has taken off in refreshing ways in the last decade or so. Ajay Skaria's book offers the most important recent historico-critical reading of—and commentary on—Gandhi’s major text, Hind Swaraj, and some other related writings by the Mahatma. He cleaves closely to Gandhi’s words, comparing Gujarati originals with their English translations while engaging, simultaneously, several noted commentators on Gandhi as well as liberal, communitarian, and deconstructive traditions of thought. Not everybody will agree with every conclusion of Skaria’s, but no one interested in the Mahatma will be able to ignore this book."—Dipesh Chakrabarty, University of Chicago"Unconditional Equality spells out nothing short of a total revaluation of Gandhi's political thought, systematic, comprehensive, and authoritative. Ajay Skaria brings a depth of understanding to the material that will be hard to duplicate. This is a tour de force."—Mrinalini Sinha, University of Michigan"Skillfully deconstructing the Gujarati and English versions of Gandhi’s writings, Skaria argues that Gandhi’s most original philosophical contribution lies not so much in his political views but a new conception of religion that disavows all claims to sovereignty, even over oneself. It is surrender without subordination, compassion without limit; there is only the unconditional equality of the pure gift and the pure example. This is a brilliantly original book, provocative and controversial, that engages not only with Gandhi’s admirers and critics but with contemporary debates in moral philosophy."—Partha Chatterjee, Columbia University"Divided neatly into two parts, this book delves into a familiar arena of concern with a multitude of interesting details, culled from the original Gujarati texts."—The Review of Politics "For someone with a deep philosophical understanding, who is well read in the theoretical literature, for whom Derrida clarifies rather than confuses, this book may well be worth the effort of engagement."—Satyagraha Foundation for Nonviolence Studies"The powerful accomplishment of this book lies in its formulation of the problem of equality in a language that stays most truthful to Gandhi."—Contemporary South Asia"Understanding Equality must be commended for paving the way for future scholars to examine Gandhi’s understanding of religion and politics more closely."—Pacific AffairsTable of ContentsContentsPrefaceIntroduction: Surrender without SubordinationPart I: Before Satyagraha1.

Engrossing as a work of literature and enthralling as a window onto the life and world of its remarkable author, Cora Wilburn, Cosella Wayne is a family saga that grapples mightily with the nature of religious conversion, the implications of gender, the oppressiveness of poverty, and the destructiveness of child abuse.
