Text zu Land: Palastina im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs 1865-1920 (Schriften des Simon-Dubnow-Instituts)
Göttingen, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2005. 425 pp., Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. German language. How did Palestine become Palestine, that is, its own historical and political-geographic entity? This question is at the center of the study, which traces the course of the scientific discourse about the Holy Land as well as its front positions and competitions. The dominance of Protestant research into the biblical land induced Jewish authors to become active in Palestine research themselves. As a comparative view of the Science of Judaism in the 19th century shows, the modern historical-geographical perspective was preferred. The Zionist movement in particular adapted modern Palestine studies. Markus Kirchhoff describes these overlapping discourses as converging topographies and for the first time comprehensively deciphered them. ISBN: 9783525369838

The Jews of Yemen in the Nineteenth Century: A Portrait of a Messianic Community (Brill's Series in Jewish Studies)
Leiden, Brill, 1993. 209 pp. Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Dustj. partly discolored. Jewish history Middle East. This book discusses the uniqueness of messianic aspirations of the nineteenth-century jews of Yemen, and displays the unprecedented role that these aspirations played in all sectors of their life. The study employs a diachronic approach; it presents the development of Jewish messianic expressions in Yemen and explains how Jewish messianic ideology and movements were receptive to eschatological notions and to messianic movements of Yemeni Muslims. Particular attention is devoted to the messianic movements of Shukr Kuhayl I (1861-65), Shukr Kuhayl II (1868-75), and Yosef 'Abdallah (1888-93). Other themes include Yemeni Jewish apocalyptic literature, messianic motifs in rabbinic writings and messianic expressions in the Yemeni Jewish waves of migration to Palestine (1881-1914).

Moses Hess and Modern Jewish Identity (Hardback)
Bloomington, Indiana University Press, 2001. 180 pp. Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Judaica. Moses Hess, a fascinating 19th-century German Jewish intellectual figure, was at times religious and secular, traditional and modern, practical and theoretical, socialist and nationalist. Ken Koltun-Fromm's radical reinterpretation of his writings shows Hess as a Jew struggling with the meaning of conflicting commitments and impulses. Modern readers will realize that in Hess's life, as in their own, these commitments remain fragmented and torn. As contemporary Jews negotiate multiple, often contradictory allegiances in the modern world, Koltun-Fromm argues that Hess's struggle to unite conflicting traditions and frameworks of meaning offers intellectual and practical resources to re-examine the dilemmas of modern Jewish identity. Adopting Charles Taylor's philosophical theory of the self to uncover Hess's various commitments, Koltun-Fromm demonstrates that Hess offers a rich, textured, though deeply conflicted and torn account of the modern Jew. This groundbreaking study in conceptions of identity in modern Jewish texts is a vital contribution to the diverse fields of Jewish intellectual history, philosophy, Zionism, and religious studies.Jewish Literature and Culture. - quote by Alvin H.

New York, New York University Press, 1997. 232 pp., Fine copy. Paperback. Facing the dizzying array of changes commonly referred to as modernity, Jews in 19th-century Eastern Europe and early 20th-century America reflected the crises and opportunities of the modern world most eloquently in their speech, culture, and literature.

German Jews: A Dual Identity
New Haven, Yale University Press, 1999. 149 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. When the German-Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig entitled his 1926 collection of essays on Jewish and universal cultural topics Zweistromland -- a land of two rivers -- he meant to underscore, indeed celebrate, the fact that German-Jewish culture is nurtured by both German culture and the Jewish religious and cultural heritage. In this thought-provoking book, Paul Mendes-Flohr explores through the prism of Rosenzweig's image how German Jews have understood and contended with their twofold spiritual patrimony. He deepens the discussion to consider also how the German-Jewish experience bears upon the general modern experience of living with multiple cultural identities.German Jews assimilated the cultural values of Germany but were not themselves assimilated into German society, Mendes-Flohr contends. Yet, by virtue of their adoption of values sponsored by enlightened German discourse, they were no longer unambiguously Jewish. The author discusses how their identity and cultural loyalty became fractured and how German Jews -- dike other Jews and indeed like all denizens of the modern world -- were obliged to confront the challenges of living with plural identities and cultural affiliations.
