Minor Perspectives on Modernity beyond Europe: An Encounter between Jewish Studies and Postcolonial Thought, eds. Yael Attia, Jonatan Hirsch, Kathleen Samson. Baden-Baden: Nomos Verlag, 2023

Both disciplines intensively debate modernity, troubling its universalist claims and showing the contradictory nature of its promises. The call to provincialize Europe allows scholars from both disciplines to think, articulate and represent modern experiences beyond Europe and engage critically with traditions of modernity across disciplines, temporalities and geographies. Mapping Sephardi and other minor perspectives on modernity from across the globe in this volume, we are presenting fascinating cases and exploring new terrain where a fruitful encounter between Jewish and Postcolonial Studies can happen With contributions by Yael Attia | Priyam Goswami Choudhury | Jonathan Hirsch | Yonathan Listik | Anthony Obst | Kathleen Samson | Alina Schittenhelm | Željka Oparnica | Rachel Pafe

He addressed the "marvelous achievements" of the Jewish chalutzim (pioneers) in Palestine and urged fi nancial and political support for them and their cause. 1 Th e occasion for the event was a refugee crisis that started on 19 December 1914, when the fi rst 690 Palestinian-Jewish deportees reached the port of Alexandria. Only weeks before, shortly after entering World War I, the Ottoman government had abolished the capitulation agreements and issued an ultimatum for non-Ottoman subjects in Palestine (and Syria) to naturalize or face evacuation as enemy aliens. 2 In the course of the winter of 1914-15, more than ten thousand Jews, the majority of Eastern European origin and subjects of the Russian Empire, were expelled to British-occupied Egypt. Th e Alexandrian bimonthly La Revue Juive d'Egypte reported in detail on the alarming events that unfolded before the city's Jewish community. Th e report insisted that cooperation between local Jewry, the Egyptian government, foreign consuls, and international Jewish organizations was urgently required. 3 Hence, a quickly formed refugee council, consisting of members of the local Jewish community and Jews from Palestine, was elected to negotiate between the diff erent actors and to alleviate the hardship of the refugees. 4 Realizing that the magnitude of the events exceeded the means of the local community, the head of the community, Edgar Suarez, and the chief rabbi of Alexandria, Ra ff aello Della Pergola, appealed to Su ltan Hussein Kamal for assistance. Th e chief editor of La Revue Juive, Ugo Farfara, This Chapter is from The World Beyond the West: Perspectives from Eastern Europe Edited by Mariusz Kałczewiak and Magdalena Kozłowska.
