Book Synopsis Essential Outsiders by : Daniel Chirot
Download or read book Essential Outsiders written by Daniel Chirot and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia, like Jews in Central Europe until the Holocaust, have been remarkably successful as an entrepreneurial and professional minority. Whole regimes have sometimes relied on the financial underpinnings of Chinese business to maintain themselves in power, and recently Chinese businesses have led the drive to economic modernization in Southeast Asia. But at the same time, they remain, as the Jews were, the quintessential “outsiders.” In some Southeast Asian countries they are targets of majority nationalist prejudices and suffer from discrimination, even when they are formally integrated into the nation. The essays in this book explore the reasons why the Jews in Central Europe and the Chinese in Southeast Asia have been both successful and stigmatized. Their careful scholarship and measured tone contribute to a balanced view of the subject and introduce a historical depth and comparative perspective that have generally been lacking in past discussions. Those who want to understand contemporary Southeast Asian and the legacy of the Jewish experience in Central Europe will gain new insights from the book.
Book Synopsis Jewish Identities in East and Southeast Asia by : Jonathan Goldstein
Download or read book Jewish Identities in East and Southeast Asia written by Jonathan Goldstein and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish communities of East and Southeast Asia display an impressive diversity. Jonathan Goldstein’s book covers the period from 1750 and focuses on seven of the area’s largest cities and trading emporia: Singapore, Manila, Taipei, Harbin, Shanghai, Rangoon, and Surabaya. The book isolates five factors which contributed to the formation of transnational, multiethnic, and multicultural identity: memory, colonialism, regional nationalism, socialism, and Zionism. It emphasizes those factors which preserved specifically Judaic aspects of identity. Drawing extensively on interviews conducted in all seven cities as well as governmental, institutional, commercial, and personal archives, censuses, and cemetery data, the book provides overviews of communal life and intimate portraits of leading individuals and families. Jews were engaged in everything from business and finance to revolutionary activity. Some collaborated with the Japanese while others confronted them on the battlefield. The book attempts to treat fully and fairly the wide spectrum of Jewish experience ranging from that of the ultra-Orthodox to the completely secular.
Book Synopsis Jews and Muslims in South Asia by : Yulia Egorova
Download or read book Jews and Muslims in South Asia written by Yulia Egorova and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews and Muslims in South Asia examines how Jews and Muslims relate to each other in a place where, in contrast to Europe, their perceived attitudes towards one another do not often make headlines. In the European imagination, Jews and Muslims have both been seen as the ultimate "other." At the same time, Western politics and media construct Jews and Muslims in opposition to each other and see their relationship as unavoidably polarized due to the conflict in the Middle East. In this book, Yulia Egorova explores how South Asian Jews and Muslims relate to each other outside of a Western and Christian context, and reveals that despite some important differences this relationship is still intrinsically connected to global narratives about Jews and Muslims. She also shows that the Hindu right have turned South Asian Jewish experiences into a rhetorical tool to deny the existence of discrimination against religious minorities, and that this ostensible celebration of Jewishness masks not only anti-Muslim, but also anti-Jewish prejudice. She argues that South Asia inherited these notions of racial and religious difference from the British during the colonial period, which continue to cause stigmatization and oppression to this day. Jews and Muslims in South Asia is a fascinating new contribution to the academic discussion on anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and their overlapping histories.

Book Synopsis Tamerlane and the Jews by : Michael Shterenshis
Download or read book Tamerlane and the Jews written by Michael Shterenshis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general introduction to the history of Jewish life in 14th century Asia at the time of the conqueror Tamerlane (Timur). The author defines who are the Central Asian Jews, and describes the attitudes towards the Jews, and the historical consequences of this relationship with Tamerlane. Left alone to live within a stable empire, the Jews prospered under Tamerlane. In founding an empire, Tamerlane had delivered Central Asia from the last Mongols, and brought the nations of Transoxonia within the orbit of Persian civilisation. The Central Asian Jews accepted this spirit and preserved it until modern times in their language and culture.

Among these were " the Nazarite vow," "the burning of frankincense," and "various domestic celebrations," which were of significant importance in view of the fact that the Beni Israel possessed no synagogues. Wishing, however, to put what he considered a practical Jewish test to them, "he gave their women some fish to cook, including some that had neither fins nor scales. These they separated from the others, saying that they never ate them. Rahabi was thereupon satisfied that they were really Jews ."1 It is strange that he appears to have been absolutely content with this simple test, as many African and Asiatic races declined then (and decline to-day) to partake of fish without scales or fins, possibly owing to the fact of the resemblance of these types of fish to snakes. "Probably their aversion to this food might be traced to the early serpent worship prevalent amongst tribes descended from nations within the Egyptian spheres of influence ."2 The reforms instituted in the religious customs of the Beni Israel by Rahabi did not bring their practice of Judaism entirely into line with that of their orthodox co-religionists in other parts of the world. The observance of the second days of the festivals was unknown, and the dietary laws were only observed in part; some of the fasts appear to have coincided with those of the Moslem faith, although some connection with Judaic institutions was evident. In many ways, environment had considerably influenced the observances of the ancient creed, and certain customs were current which were foreign to Judaism and the laws of Moses. The use of beef, as an article of food, was avoided, in all probability in order to avert dissension...
