| Summary |
This volume explores new understandings and approaches to Jewish 'ethnicity'. In current parlance regarding multicultural diversity, Jews are often considered to belong socially to the 'majority', whereas 'otherness' is reserved for 'minorities'. But these group labels and their meanings have changed over time. This volume analyzes how 'ethnic', 'ethnicity', and 'identity' have been applied to Jews, past and present, individually and collectively |
