Summary
The postmodern moment has meant an unprecedented acknowledgment of the importance of difference and the «other» in the constitution of human identity. Astonishingly, within critical educational studies this has not, till now, included a serious concern with Jews as either an oppressed or a marginalized group. For the first time, in this anthology, a number of leading voices in the field address the nature of Jewish experience and its connections to a radical vision for social and educational change. Bringing together both biography and social theory, the authors explore the «pedagogy» of Jewish experience, in its variety and complexity, and its connections to the transformative or critical visions they hold of education and our world.
