Modernity, Community, Society, and the State
Author:
The book studies Jewish life in Latin America through a dynamic past-present timeline. It combines the national, regional, and transnational dimensions by analyzing central crossing axes: the national within the diasporic, the transnational dialectically traversing both, and the national and regional dimensions developing in a global and interconnected Jewish world. Delving into the dilemmas and challenges that Modernity posed to Jews, this book emphasizes the practical and ideational responses it evoked. For Latin American Jews, this has involved moving from historical territories to new geographies, bringing with them the transmigration of worldviews and ideologies that were later re-signified.. The roots, displacements, embeddedness, and relocation of Jewish life are explored, shedding light on the richness and dilemmas of Jewish Modernity and Multiple Modernities. Thus, it critically analyzes membership criteria, social practices, and political participation, underscoring how visibility and agency in the public sphere were defined in different periods and contexts through the dyad belonging and Otherness. Its focus on Zionism and Mexico as a case study contributes to the field with original, in-depth research. With Diaspora, globalization, and transnationalism as an analytical framework, the book offers a unique and compelling insight into social and communal change and the multiple interactions of the contemporary Jewish world, sparking the curiosity and engagement of the academic audience and interested public.

Translator:
The Expulsion of Jews from Iraq, 20th century, tells the story of Jews who were persecuted and murdered by nationalist Iraqi regimes from 1932-1952. It details firings, school expulsions, show trials and confiscation of assets while Israel, Britain, the USA and France ignored pleas for help. Yehuda’s book includes the Israeli intelligence network’s pre- and post-independence activity in Iraq, rare evidence gathered by the author from newly available Iraqi archives, archival Israeli agency reports, interviews the author had with Iraqi Jews who immigrated to Israel, among others. It presents the definitive story of the Masuda Shemtob Synagogue bombing and fills important gaps concerning the Great Powers’ relations with Iraq during the Israeli-Arab conflict.

The second century is a crucial period for the formation of both Judaism and Christianity, but remains in important ways terra incognita. This volume brings together specialists in Jewish studies and Christian studies, two closely related disciplines that nonetheless continue to operate in relative isolation. Taking into consideration the full panoply of Jewish and Christian identities, the volume proposes fresh ways to map the interrelated histories of Jews and Christians. Contributions by leading scholars offer new insights into this period informed by a rich variety of perspectives, including theoretical, literary, thematic and material approaches.
