The Viennese playwright, novelist, and short-story writer Veza Canetti was born in 1897 into a mixed Sephardic-Ashkenazi Jewish family and died in 1963 in London. Part of the avant garde in 1920s Vienna (where she met her future husband and Nobel Prize winner, Elias Canetti), from 1932 she wrote radical short stories drawn from everyday life for the Vienna 'Arbeiter-Zeitung.' After censorship under the so-called Corporate State reduced her opportunities for publication, she disguised her critique in irony and humor, but from then on published little. Until 1990, when her first novel, 'Yellow Street,' was finally published, Veza was known only as her husband's muse and literary assistant. As more of her writings appeared, critics became convinced that it was he who was responsible for her decline into obscurity, notwithstanding his protestations of support and admiration. This biography tells a more nuanced story, presenting Veza's literary career against the background of her troubled times, drawing on Elias's unpublished papers to assess their literary partnership, showing how their early writings constituted a private dialogue on topics as diverse as feminism and Jewish identity and how several key themes in his work are anticipated in hers. Julian Preece is Professor of German at the University of Wales, Swansea.

Durant l'été 1987, près de quarante ans après la fondation de l'Etat d'Israël, deux géants du judaïsme français, Léon Askénazi et André Chouraqui eurent des entretiens à Jérusalem sur le destin de leur peuple, du sionisme et de leur religion. Trente ans plus tard, ce document unique est rendu accessible pour la première fois au public, présenté et annoté par l'historien des idées Denis Charbit. Dans son essai introductif, celui-ci décrit le contexte intellectuel et politique dans lequel eurent lieu ces conversations amicales.André Chouraqui (1917-2007), traducteur de la Bible hébraïque, des Evangiles et du Coran, prophète inlassable du dialogue entre les trois monothéismes abrahamiques, était a priori bien différent du maître talmudique visionnaire que fut Léon Askénazi (1922-1996), connu de plusieurs générations d'élèves sous le surnom qu'il avait gardé du scoutisme : "Manitou" . Mais les deux hommes étaient tous deux issus du judaïsme algérien, tous deux avaient été formés dans l'esprit républicain français, tous deux avaient fait ensuite leur alya et ils étaient animés d'une commune ferveur sioniste.Sur quels fondements judaïques une telle ferveur s'appuyait-elle, comment chacun des deux interlocuteurs faisait-il le lien entre les dimensions spirituelle et temporelle, quelles conséquences politiques en tirait-il ? Avec trente ans de recul, le lecteur d'aujourd'hui peut relire ces échanges passionnés et passionnants à la lumière de l'Histoire.

This text on culture and consciousness in history concerns the worldwide transformations of Jewish culture and society and the revival of the ancient Hebrew language following the waves of pogroms in Russia in 1881, when large numbers of Jews in Eastern and Central Europe redefined their identity as Jews in a new and baffling world.

Explores the full diversity of Black Jews, including bi-racial Jews of both matrilineal and patrilineal descent; adoptees; black converts to Judaism; and Black Hebrews and Israelites, who trace their Jewish roots to Africa and challenge the dominant western paradigm of Jews as white and of European descent. The book showcases the lives of Black Jews, demonstrating that racial ascription has been shaping Jewish selfhood for centuries. It reassesses the boundaries between race and ethnicity, offering insight into how ethnicity can be understood only in relation to racialization and the one-drop rule. Within this context, Black Jewish individuals strive to assert their dual identities and find acceptance within their communities. Putting to rest the notion that Jews are white and the Black Jews are therefore a contradiction, the volume argues that we cannot pigeonhole Black Hebrews and Israelites as exotic, militant, and nationalistic sects outside the boundaries of mainstream Jewish thought and community life. it spurs us to consider the significance of the growing population of self-identified Black Jews and its implications for the future of American Jewry.
