  • MODERN JEWISH FICTION David Brauner and Axel Stähler
    INTRODUCTION: MODERN JEWISH FICTION David Brauner and Axel Stähler his collection of essays represents a new departure for, and a potentially (re)defining T moment in, literary Jewish Studies. It is the first volume to bring together essays on American, British, South African, Canadian and Australian Jewish fiction with such a wide range of reference. Moreover, it complicates all these terms, emphasising the porous- ness between different national traditions and moving beyond traditional definitions of Jewishness. For the sake of structural clarity, the volume is divided into three parts – ‘American Jewish Fiction’, ‘British Jewish Fiction’ and ‘International and Transnational Anglophone Jewish Fiction’ – but many of the essays cross over these boundaries and speak to each other implicitly, as well as, on occasion, explicitly. All of the contributors, in very different ways, interrogate and redefine the parameters of modern Anglophone Jewish fiction. Before any key terms are problematised, however, they need to be established and so this introduction will begin by providing a rationale for, and a provisional working defi- nition of, the key terms contained in the title of the volume, before offering an overview of the essays that make up the main body of the book. Modern What do we mean by ‘modern’? It is a helpfully ambiguous term that gives some indication of the period of history covered by the volume – from the start of the twentieth century to the present day – and avoids the theoretical and ideological implications of related terms, such as ‘modernism’, ‘modernity’, ‘postmodernism’ and ‘postmodernity’, while at the same time potentially encompassing all of them.

  • Doomed from the Start: Australia's Rejection of Dr I.N. Steinberg's Kimberley Plan David Carlos Muller Abstract: This Articl
    Doomed from the Start: Australia’s Rejection of Dr I.N. Steinberg’s Kimberley Plan David Carlos Muller Abstract: This article disambiguates an unanswered question from Australian history: why was the Kimberley Plan, a scheme that would have opened the East Kimberley region of Western Australia to large-scale, foreign Jewish settlement during the era of the Holocaust, rejected by the Australian government? Introduction Years ago whilst en route to an Aboriginal school in South Australia, I was told about the Kimberley Plan, an ambitious proposal that, had it succeeded, would have opened the East Kimberley region to large-scale Jewish settlement during World War Two era. Though I had heard the name Kimberley numerous times before, I had not related it to a region in Australia and had never heard of a plan for a Jewish colony there. I was also told the Kimberley Plan had been “shot down by the Australians.” Nevertheless, this footnote to Australian history became part of my general knowledge, though I admit I rarely thought about it in the subsequent years that followed. Years later, however, I set out to formally disambiguate a specific question lurking, as it were, in the background in regards to the Kimberley Plan and the reasons it was ultimately rejected by the Australian government. What, in other words, doomed this scheme to failure and what role – if any – did anti-Semitism plan in its demise? This paper is the result of that effort and is an attempt to add a new layer of discussion into this obscure moment in Australian history.
