Entre las décadas de 1890 y 1930, Argentina se convirtió en el principal destino de los judíos asquenazíes de Europa del Este que buscaban seguridad, derechos civiles y mejores perspectivas económicas. Los inmigrantes judíos de Polonia formaron en Argentina una sólida comunidad étnica que rápidamente abrazó la cultura argentina sin dejar de mantener su carácter judío-polaco. En Judíos polacos transatlánticos Mariusz Kalczewiak ha construido una narrativa profunda que contribuye a esclarecer aspectos poco explorados de la migración judía moderna. Basado en los archivos de los landsmanshaftn, relatos de viaje y la prensa judía en ambos países, este estudio recrea un mosaico de enmarañados que la migración judía tejió entre Polonia y Argentina. Judíos polacos transatlánticos ilumina el heterogéneo y complejo tema de los compromisos y pertenencias de los inmigrantes. El caso de estudio de la emigración judía de Polonia a Argentina expone las dinámicas que surgen entre echar raíces en un nuevo país y mantener los compromisos con el país de origen.

Colonialism and the Jews ist ein materialreicher Sammelband, der die Schnittstellen innerhalb der jüdischen Geschichte und Kolonialgeschichte untersucht. Das Buch betrachtet die Juden als Agenten und Untertanen von Imperien, analysiert ihr politisches Engagement innerhalb der imperialen Systeme und stellt Parallelen zwischen Zionismus und Kolonialismus dar. Es ist ein wichtiges Werk für alle, die die Rolle von Minderheiten in multinationalen Kolonialreichen besser verstehen wollen. Die Beiträge reichen von Studien über Juden im französischen Marokko bis hin zu jüdischer Rückkehrmigration innerhalb des Britischen Imperiums und bieten eine aufschlussreiche, vergleichende Perspektive, die verdeutlicht, inwiefern Orientalismus, Jüdisch- Sein und Modernisierung sich in den europäischen Kolonialreichen verflochten haben. ; Colonialism and the Jews is a thought-provoking volume examining the intersections of Jewish and colonial history. Looking at Jews as agents and subjects of empires, at their political engagement within imperial systems and at Zionism's links with colonialism, it is an important reference book for everyone trying to better understand the role of minorities in multinational colonial empires. Articles ranging from studies on Jews in French Morocco to Jewish return migration within the British Empire provide for a broad comparative perspective elucidating how Orientalism, Jewishness, and modernization intertwined within European colonial empires.

Das Buch von Sebastian Klor untersucht die Geschichte der jüdischen Auswanderung von Argentinien nach Israel. Klor definiert die Gründung des Staates Israel in 1948 und den Sechstagekrieg als historische Zäsuren, die den Anfang und das Ende seines Forschungszeitraums bezeichnen. Between Exile and Exodus analysiert die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen in Argentinien und Israel und findet vielfältige Faktoren, die die Auswanderung beeinflussten, so war sie z.B. nicht eindeutig an argentinischen Antisemitismus oder zionistische Träume gekoppelt. Klor porträtiert die jüdische Auswanderung von Argentinien nach Israel wie jede andere Form der Migration und schlägt vor, dass die Alija (hebräisch für Aufstieg, wie die Auswanderung nach Israel benannt wird) nicht als Sonderfall zu betrachten. ; This monograph from Sebastian Klor explores the story of Jewish immigration from Argentina to Israel. Klor sets the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the Six Day War as caesura that form the beginning and end of his research. Between Exile and Exodus explores changing political and economic conditions in Argentina in Israel, and concludes that the factors influencing the emigration were diverse and were not clearly bound to Argentinian anti-Semitism or Zionist dreams. Klor portrays Argentinian emigration to Israel as any other form of migration, and suggests not viewing the aliyah (ascent in Hebrew, the way immigration to Israel is described) as an exceptional case.

Frank Wolff's book tells a fascinating history of Bund, putting it in the context of migration and transnational exchanges. Basing his research on biographies of Bundist activist and numerous archival sources, the author underscores very personal aspects of modern political movements and shows how the Bundists truly dreamt about a better tomorrow that was supposed to happen "here and now". For Wolff, the half-century long history of Bund serves as a departure point for examining how the movement evolved, transcended the geographical borders, and changed as its activists turned into migrants.

Israeli Identity: Between Orient and Occident is an important book on contemporary Israeli identities and Israeli discourses on the East and the West. The authors examine various aspects of Israeli social, political, and cultural life, challenging a common belief that Israel is a Western state that only geographically is located in the Middle East. The contributors explore various manifestations of Israeli identities in a quest to answer an old, but lingering question: how Middle Eastern are Israel and the Israelis?

"No matter how one defines its extent and borders, Eastern Europe has long been understood as a liminal space, one whose undeniable cultural and historical continuities with Western Europe have been belied by its status as an "Other" in the Western imagination. Across illuminating and provocative case studies, The World beyond the West focuses on the region's ambiguous relationship to historical processes of colonialism and Orientalism. In exploring encounters with distant lands through politics, travel, migration, and exchange, it places Eastern Europe at the heart of its analysis while decentering the most familiar narratives and recasting the history of the region"--
