Pole/Jew
History, Literature, Identity, Future
Introduction
Pole/Jew brings together a group of scholars about half of them Jewish, about half of them ethnic Poles from the United States, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Canada and enlists their diverse methodological and generational perspectives to push debates over Polish-Jewish relations beyond entrenched and reductive positions.
Core Questions
At the core of the volume are the following questions:
- What impact has the Holocaust had on Polish history and Polish literature?
- How has the Holocaust affected Polish-Jewish and Polish identity?
- What future is there for relations between Poland's small Jewish minority and the country's overwhelming ethnic Polish majority?
- Between Poland and Israel?
- Between Jews of the diaspora and ethnic Poles abroad?
- Which research areas have yet to be addressed or revisited and reexamined?
- Are there ways to move beyond the reductive notion of 1989 (i.e., the fall of the communist regime in Poland) as wall and fulcrum?
Purpose
By addressing these compelling questions, this volume offers fresh perspectives and encourages a nuanced understanding of Polish-Jewish relations.
