  • 2020 Raphael Patai Series in Jewish Folklore and Anthropology

    2020 Raphael Patai Series in Jewish Folklore and Anthropology

    Raphael Patai Series in Jewish Folklore and Anthropology Stories of Jewish Life Casale Monferra- to-Rome-Jerusalem, 1876–1985 Augusto Segre Translated and with an Introduction by Steve Siporin Stories of Jewish Life: Casale Monferrato-Rome-Jeru- salem, 1876–1985 is an unconventional mem- oir—an integrated collection of short stories and personal essays. Author Augusto Segre was a well-known public fi gure in post–WWII Italy who worked as a journalist, educator, scholar, editor, activist, and rabbi. He begins his book with stories shaped from the oral narratives of his home community as it emerged from the ghet- to era, continues with his own experiences under fascism and as a partisan in WWII, and ends with his emigration to Israel.Spanning the years 1876 (one generation after emancipa- tion from the ghetto) to 1985 (one generation after the Shoah), Segre presents this period as an era in which Italian Jewry underwent a long-term internal crisis that challenged its core values and identity. He embeds the major cultural and political trends of the era in small yet telling episodes from the lives of ordinary people. The fi rst half of the book takes place in Casale Monferrato—a small provincial capital in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy. The second half, continuing in Casale in the late 1920s but eventually shifting to Rome then Jerusalem, follows the experiences of a boy named Moshè (Segre’s Jewish name and his stand-in). Moshè relates episodes of Italian Jewry from the 1920s to the 1980s that portray the insidiousness of fascism as well as the contradictions within the Jewish community, especially in its post-ghetto relationship to Italian society.
  • Between Emancipation and Antisemitism: Jewish Presence in Parliamentary Politics in Hungary 1867–1884

    Between Emancipation and Antisemitism: Jewish Presence in Parliamentary Politics in Hungary 1867–1884

    BETWEEN EMANCIPATION AND ANTISEMITISM: JEWISH PRESENCE IN PARLIAMENTARY POLITICS IN HUNGARY 1867–1884 Árpád Welker THE PERIOD UNDER STUDY The early 1880s were both difficult and extraordinary from the point of view of Hungarian Jewry. Political antisemitism had been present for half a decade, but it became violent and influential during these years, though only for these years. In other words, this was a time of crisis within the ‘Golden Era’ of the Hungarian Jewry, as some researchers of Hungarian Jews call the period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy 1867–1918. [1] Besides antisemitism ‘normal’ political debate took place in parliament simultaneously, namely that related to the bill on Jewish–Christian marriages, which was also decisive from a Jewish point of view. The ‘antisemitic wave’ started with the attempts to establish a nation-wide movement, the Central Association of Non-Jewish Hungarians, following the example of Wilhelm Marr’s Antisemitenliga in Germany. [2] This period of virulent antisemitic activity culminated in the events related to the infamous Tiszaeszlár blood libel case, including a series of riots threatening the safety of Jews in numerous counties, and the foundation of the National Antisemitic Party in 1883. After the clear defeat of the antisemites in the elections of 1884, antisemitism practically became insignificant. [3] It took ten years until a political party incorporated antisemitism in its programme again, but the antisemitism of the Catholic People’s Party was ‘less virulent’, [4] and neither their only nor even their main goal. THE ‘DOUBLE PROGRAMME OF EMANCIPATION AND ASSIMILATION’ András Kovács in an article about the relationship between politics and Hungarian Jews argues that ‘independent Jewish politics has no tradition in the history of Hungarian Jewry’.

    Brauer，Erich, the Jews of Kurdistan. Completed and Edited by Raphael Patai. Jewish Folklore and Anthropology Series. Detroit

    384 BOOK REVIEWS conflict (the tension that maintains the narratives’ progression), these stories offer a whole range of common Hindu themes: questions of time and space perception; oscil­ lations between dream and reality; issues of morality, dream ethics, and gender; on­ tological transformations; passion and eroticism versus celibacy and meditation; and the relationship between kingship, sagehood, and proper rule. As one reads the stories in Gods, Demons，and Others，all of these recognizable themes from the ocean of Hindu storytelling emerge with clarity, wit, and insight. That is why this book would be appropriate for use as an introductory text in classes on Hinduism or Indian folklore. But it is also well suited for general reading, either in private or out loud to an audience. Frank J.

An ethnological study (1947)] as an “ ethnography at a distance.” Like his monograph on the Jews of Yemen (1934), this work was prepared on the basis of interviews with Jews who immigrated from Kurdistan after the beginning of the century, and not on the basis of direct fieldwork. Brauer died in 1942, leaving the manuscript unfinished.
  • Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus

    Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus

    GRECO-ROMAN CULTURE AND THE GALILEE OF JESUS Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus, the first book- length investigation of this topic, challenges the conventional scholarly view that first-century Galilee was thoroughly Hel- lenized. Examining architecture, inscriptions, coins, and art from Alexander the Great’s conquest until the early fourth century CE, Chancey argues that the extent of Greco-Roman culture in the time of Jesus has often been greatly exaggerated. Antipas’s reign in the early first century was indeed a time of transition, but the more dramatic shifts in Galilee’s cultural climate happened in the second century, after the arrival of a large Roman garrison. Much of Galilee’s Hellenization should thus be understood within the context of its Romanization. Any attempt to understand the Galilean setting of Jesus must recognize the significance of the region’s historical develop- ment as well as how Galilee fits into the larger context of the Roman East.
