| Summary |
"This book offers critical analyses of Arab engagements with the question of Jewish political rights (as individuals, religious communities, and/or a national collective) as these have been shaped by European anti-Semitism and Zionism and of Jewish engagements with the question of how Jewish voices dealt with Palestinian presence and political rights in historic Palestine. These key political questions are rarely debated today and almost never in relation to each other, though they are inextricably intertwined. The "Jewish Question" arose in Europe in the 19th century in the context of the centrality of Christianity and rising forms of nationalism; it became a concern in the Middle East with the Zionist proposal to create an independent Jewish state in Palestine, a proposition viewed by Arabs at the time (at start of the 20th century) as colonialist. Zionists for the most part dismissed the "Arab Question"--what to do with the Arab population living in Palestine--by ignoring it or denigrating Palestinians as primitive and backward! After partition and the "war of independence" in 1948, these questions were rarely discussed despite well over a half-century of conflict in the Middle East. The 2011 uprisings and universally acknowledged failure of the Oslo peace accords have made the question of how individual and collective political rights can be protected outside the framework of territorial sovereignty even more urgent--a question that pertains not only to Palestine but to all Middle Eastern states with sizable religious minorities. The premise of this book is that it is politically imperative and morally necessary to engage with the challenge of diversity in the wider region of the Middle East by reexamining the inseparability of the Arab and Jewish struggle for self-determination and political equality. Contributors from the fields of history, religion, political science, philosophy, English, social work, and cultural studies include Gil Anidjar, Hakem Al-Rustom, Derek Penslar, Brian King, Maram Masarwi, Ella Shohut, and Jacqueline Rose"-- Provided by publisher. |
