Reading a wide range of novels from post-war Germany to Israeli, Palestinian and postcolonial writers, The Politics of Jewishness in Contemporary World Literature is a comprehensive exploration of changing cultural perceptions of Jewishness in contemporary writing.

Recenzii

The book's strength lies in Hesse's selection of a wide variety of fascinating literary texts, and in her ambitious engagement with theorists of trauma and post-colonial studies. While the discourse of trauma has had traction within Jewish academic discourse since the Holocaust, Hesse goes to great pains in order to situate the Jews within a post-colonial context . Hesse successfully addresses stylistic and thematic renderings of the image of the Jew since 1945, as empowered, oppressive, and human, as opposed to simply a symbol of marginality and victimization.
Nevertheless, Hesse's book is an invigorating and deeply provocative meditation on how Jews have been conceptualised in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel. This is a signi?cant and important work for Jewish studies that confronts di?cult and uncomfortable questions surrounding the ambivalent position the conceptual "Jew" still occupies in Jewish and non-Jewish imaginations.
