This book focuses on the vibrant academic field of Israel studies and its complex and dynamic relations and intersections with its “older sibling” Jewish studies. Scholarly contributions from around the globe illustrate that the ongoing and growing interest in Israel studies, in particular since the early 2000s, must be analyzed and understood in its relationship to Jewish studies. Only this will allow scholarship to reflect on not only the intersections between the two fields but also on the prospects of cross-pollination between the disciplines for research and teaching. This will become ever more vital in an increasingly globalized world with shifting concepts, borders, and identity concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a significant and timely volume of essays. Though much has been written on the field of Jewish Studies as an academic discipline, and a fair amount on the more recent cognate area of Israel Studies, this is the first truly wide-ranging discussion and thought-provoking debate regarding their interrelationship. I am sure that this collection will spur a great deal of further academic deliberation. -- Norman A. Stillman, Schusterman\/Josey Professor of Judaic History, University of Oklahoma\u003cbr\u003eJewish Studies and Israel Studies in the 21st Century: Intersections and Prospects is an insightful and exciting exploration of the growing interconnection between Israel Studies and Jewish Studies, from a variety of national and transnational perspectives. Remarkably varied in their approaches, disciplines, and perspectives about the ways Jewish Studies and Israel studies—might usefully be brought together, and the ways they might need to be held apart—the essays assembled here provide a rich intellectual mix of provocative questions and intriguing potential answers, which will generate vigorous scholarly conversations in both fields. -- Yael S.
