The development of Afrocentric historical writing is explored in this study which traces this recording of history from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the 19th century. Afrocentric writers are depicted as searching for the unique primary source of "culture" from one period to the next. Such passing on of cultural traits from the "ancient model" from the classical period to the origin of culture in Egypt and Africa is shown as being a product purely of creative history.

Staging and Stagers in Modern Jewish Palestine
The Creation of Festive Lore in a New Culture, 1882-1948

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This case study describes the work of the people responsible for creating festive lore and its system of ceremonies and festivities - an inseparable part of every culture. In the case of the new modern Hebrew culture of Eretz Israel (modern Jewish Palestine) - a society of immigrants that left behind most of their traditional folkways - the creation of festival lore was an organized process guided by a national ideology and aesthetic values. This effort in a secular national society served as an alternative to the traditional religious system, adapted the ceremonies and festivals to a new historical reality, and created a new festival cycle that would give expression to the values and symbols of the new Jewish society. Stoging and Stagers in Modern Jewish Palestine claims that the system of ceremonies and festivals, in general, and each separate ceremony and festival were staged according to the staging instructions written by a defined group of cultural activists. The book examines three main stages - the educational network, rural society (particularly the cooperative sector), and urban society (most notably Tel Aviv) - and looks at the stagers themselves, who were school-teachers, writers, artists, and cultural activists. Though cultural systems of festivals and ceremonies are often researched and described, scholarly literature rarely identifies their creators or studies in detail the manner in which these systems are created. This book sheds important light on the stagers of modern Jewish Palestine and also on the processes and mechanisms that created the performative lore in other cultures, in ancient as well as modern times.

This fascinating case study describes the work of the people responsible for creating festive lore and its system of ceremonies and festivities—an inseparable part of every culture. In the case of the new modern Hebrew culture of Eretz Israel (modern Jewish Palestine)—a society of immigrants that left behind most of their traditional folkways—the creation of festival lore was a conscious and organized process guided by a national ideology and aesthetic values. This creative effort in a secular national society served as an alternative to the traditional religious system, adapted the ceremonies and festivals to a new historical reality, and created a new festival cycle that would give expression and joy to the values and symbols of the new Jewish society.Staging and Stagers in Modern Jewish Palestine claims that the system of ceremonies and festivals, in general, and each separate ceremony and festival were staged according to the staging instructions written by a defined group of cultural activists. The book examines three main stages—the educational network, rural society (particularly the cooperative sector), and urban society (most notably Tel Aviv)—and looks at the stagers themselves, who were schoolteachers, writers, artists, and cultural activists.

Road to September 1939
Polish Jews, Zionists, and the Yishuv on the Eve of World War II

In European and Holocaust historiography, it is generally believed that neither the Zionist movement nor the Yishuv, acting primarily out of self-interest, energetically attempted to help European Jews escape the Nazi threat. Drawing on the memoirs, letters, and institutional reports of Chaim Weizmann, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, David Ben-Gurion, and many others, this volume sheds new light on a troubled period in Jewish history. Reinharz and Shavit trace Jewish responses to developments in Eastern and Central Europe to show that—contrary to recent scholarship and popular belief—Zionists in the Yishuv worked tirelessly on the international stage on behalf of their co-religionists in Europe.Focusing particularly on Poland, while explicating conditions in Germany and Czechoslovakia as well, the authors examine the complicated political issues that arose not just among Jews themselves, but within national governments in Britain, Europe, and America. Piercing to the heart of conversations about how or whether to save Jews in an increasingly hostile Europe, this volume provides a nuanced and thoughtful assessment of what could and could not be achieved in the years just prior to World War II and the Holocaust.

This book focuses on places and instances where Solomon''s legendary biography intersects with those of Jesus Christ and of Aristotle. Solomon is the axis around which this trio revolves, the thread that binds it together. It is based on the premise that there exists a correspondence, both overt and implied, between these three biographies, that has taken shape within a vast, multifaceted field of texts for more than two thousand years.

Popular Science in Hebrew in Eastern Europe
The Dissemination of Secular Knowledge between Jews in the Second Half of the 19th Century

Kommande
During the second half of the 19th century a large number of Jewish popularizers in Eastern Europe took upon themselves the task of spreading knowledge of the natural sciences amongst the learned Hebrew speaking Jewish intelligentsia of Eastern Europe. This was part and parcel of the processes of enlightenment and acculturation of Jewish society and an important chapter in the revival of Hebrew culture. This group of popularizers continued this tradition of writing about scientific developments for many years and eventually their books and articles reached ever larger circles of readers eager to acquire new scientific knowledge. Many of their publications aimed to deal with the wonders of the universe and many of them described new technological inventions. Other publications tried to explain to the ever expanding circles of readers changes that have taken place during the second half of the 19th century in the fields of physics, astrophysics, chemistry, biology, physiology and more. Their publications explained to the Jewish intelligentsia such processes and terms as energy and its use, electro-magnetism, thermo-dynamics, chemical substances and much more. Often they had to invent a terminology that had not previously existed in the Hebrew lexicon. At the same time this new scientific knowledge revealed the principles and laws governing the world around them. Many of these popularizers were observant Jews and the book deals with the way they struggled with the challenge of reconciling their religious beliefs with scientific discoveries, a challenge that persisted into the twentieth century. The book describes these developments which led to the creation of the field of science in Hebrew - it is a collective biography of the ever-larger group of popularizers who opened a new field of knowledge and the manner in which they tried to explicate it to an ever-larger public
