Expanded Course Description
This course examines the transformations of European Jewry in both Western and Eastern Europe between 1700 and 1948. The approach is interdisciplinary, concentrating on the transformations in Jewish political status, economic options, national identity, gender roles, and religious self-definitions in the modern period. The rise of various forms of anti-semitism in the late nineteenth century culminating in the racial anti-semitism of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust is also examined, as are the development of various Jewish political movements including Zionism.
