Description
Irish Questions and Jewish Questions explores the complex histories of two modern European outliers: Ireland and the Jewish community. Both nations struggled with their lack of formal sovereignty in the 19th century, navigating a bifurcated status that was perceived as both inferior and integral to the European landscape. Through the careers of Irish politician Robert Briscoe and other key figures, this book examines how nationalism played out for both groups, often with violent and ambiguous relationships with Britain. The authors also investigate the revival of ancient languages as part of their drive to create new identities. By bringing together leading scholars from Irish studies and Jewish studies, this volume offers a nuanced exploration of the comparative history between these two national movements. This book sheds light on several centuries of the Jewish experience in Ireland, as well as events in Israel-Palestine and North America. It reveals how each nation's leaders had an active interest in the successes and failures of the other, offering new insights into their shared histories.
