SPECIAL ISSUE: "POSTCOLONIALISM AND ANTISEMITISM" OF THE JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM (JCA), ISSUE 2 (SPRING 2018)

Deadline for submissions: September 15th 2017

Postcolonialism has been the dernier crie of the humanities and social sciences for many years now. This special issue of JCA wants to analyze mainly two aspects of postcolonial ideology:

1) Postcolonialism and the Shoah: What is the connection between postcolonial thinking and antisemitism in regard of the Shoah? Why, since when and how has it become mainstream to connect the history of and colonialism to the history of ? Are postcolonial scholars as well as scholars in comparative genocide studies eager – and if so, why - to include the Holocaust in their framework? Does this reject the uniqueness of the Shoah and the unprecedented character of Auschwitz? Is there a tendency, even among scholars in antisemitism, to link racism, colonialism and the Shoah? What are the possible consequences for Holocaust Studies and an institution like Yad Vashem, taken these tendencies in scholarship to frame the Holocaust as “genocide among others”?

2) What is the connection between postcolonial ideology and anti-? The superstar of postcolonialism is Edward Said. His study “Orientalism” (1978) culminated in an attack on the Jewish state. How has scholarship – in Cultural Studies, Comparative Literature, Political Science, Islamic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Comparative Genocide Studies, Sociology, Philosophy, History, Jewish Studies and related fields – dealt with Said, his legacy and the connection to antisemitism and postcolonialism? How is Said linked to other leading postcolonial celebrities, Homi K. Bhabha and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, as well as to W.E.B. Du Bois and other important thinkers of postcolonialism avant la lettre, including Fanon, Aimé Césaire and others? What is the connection (like in Islamic and Studies) of postcolonialism and the reluctance to deal with antisemitism, including ? The Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism (JCA) invites scholars from all relevant disciplines to send us their contributions – original articles for peer-review,
