Description
The articles in this volume derive from a German Research Council-funded project devoted to the study of discourses in German Jewish journals and the tensions they reflect between acculturation, anti-Semitism, and the quest for Jewish identity. The undertaking was initially inspired by the conviction that an analysis of Jewish periodicals is an especially promising way of reconstructing essential and existential issues concerning Jewish minorities in German-speaking countries on all important political and cultural fronts, without evening out the immediacy of the debates in favour of abstract theories. Central to the project are the debates on the First Zionist Conference in Basle and the issue of the 'Eastern Jews' in the First World War.
