HIST 381: Jewish Nationalism

History · 5 credits

This course examines the Jewish national (and anti-national) movements of the 19th and 20th centuries: Territorialist, assimilationist, diaspora nationalist, and Zionist ideologies. Moving from questions of group identity — are the Jews a nation, a people, a religion? — to historical and contemporary theories of nationalism, situating Jewish nationalisms within their European historical contexts. We consider these nationalisms theoretically and through their manifestations in politics, culture, and religious life. This course emphasizes the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of nationalist movements.
