This book contributes to the discussion by opening up previously locked concepts of the relation between the terms color, race, and “Jews”, and by engaging with globalism, multiculturalism, hybridity, and diaspora. The contributors—leading scholars in anthropology, sociology, history, literature, and cultural studies—discuss how it is not merely a question of whether Jews are acknowledged to be interracial, but how to address academic and social discourses that continue to place Jews and others in a race/color category UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780857458933 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780857458933 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780857458933/original ER -
