With the Spanish Civil War as a point of departure, this volume proposes a definition of Jewish textualities based on the entanglement of multiple poetic modes. Through the examination of a variety of narrative fiction and non-fiction, memoir, poetry, epistles, journalism, and music in Yiddish, Spanish, French, German, and English, these essays unveil non-canonic authors across the West and explore these works in the context of antisemitism, orientalism, and philo-Sephardism, among other cultural phenomena. Jewish writings from the war have much to tell about the encounter between old traditions and new experimentations, framed by urgency, migration, and messianic hope.

By turning their attention to the literature of a war that took place on the eve of the Holocaust, these authors shed new light on both Jewish internationalism and the history of the 20th century. This illustrative and well-researched anthology helps to show how Jewish thinkers, whether from Morocco, Argentina, Moscow, or New York, saw the struggle against fascism in Spain as a fight for their own communities. * Amelia Glaser, Professor of Literature and Chair in Judaic Studies, University of California, San Diego, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJewish I\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003emaginaries \u003c\/i\u003eunveils a kaleidoscope of Jewish experiences from all over the world about the Spanish Civil War, expressed in a diversity of literary and musical genres that transcend time and space. * Jesús Baigorri-Jalón, Associate Professor Emeritus of Translation and Interpretation, University of Salamanca, Spain and author of Languages in the Crossfire.
