Abstract:
The author describes a research project in progress, the general thesis of which is that Jewish difference was critical to the formation of what came to be called "Christian Europe" and, a fortiori, to the very possibility of an encounter between that Christian Europe and its colonial "Others." The author describes how anthropological studies of Jewishness in modernity can inform interdisciplinary cultural studies of intercultural postcoloniality.
