Infos

Jewish Studies and Postcolonial Studies are often thought to be at odds. Both disciplines intensively debate modernity, troubling its universalist claims and showing the contradictory nature of its promises. The call to provincialize Europe allows scholars from both disciplines to think, articulate and represent modern experiences beyond Europe and engage critically with traditions of modernity across disciplines, temporalities and geographies. Mapping Sephardi and other minor perspectives on modernity from across the globe in this volume, we are presenting fascinating cases and exploring new terrain where a fruitful encounter between Jewish and Postcolonial Studies can happen.With contributions byYael Attia | Priyam Goswami Choudhury | Jonathan Hirsch | Yonathan Listik | Anthony Obst | Kathleen Samson | Alina Schittenhelm | Zeljka Oparnica | Rachel Pafe
