Hesse considers the relationship between images of Jewish selfhood and Jewish otherness in the contemporary period in light of the two defining movements for the idea of Jewishness in
20th-century Jewish history: the Holocaust and the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. She links the establishment of Israel to an important shift in cultural perceptions of Jewishness,
which have been extended beyond ideas of diaspora, marginality, and victimization to include emerging intersections with Israeliness and its relationship with Zionism, settler-colonialism, and
nation building. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
