Decolonial Judaism: Triumphal Failures of Barbaric
Thinking explores the relationship among geopolitics,
religion, and social theory. It argues that during the
postcolonial and post-Holocaust era, Jewish thinkers in different
parts of the world were influenced by Global South thought and
mobilized this rich set of intellectual resources to confront the
assimilation of normative Judaism by various incipient
neo-colonial powers. By tracing the historical and conceptual
lineage of this overlooked conversation, this book explores not
only its epistemological opportunities, but also the internal
contradictions that led to its ultimate unraveling, especially in
the post-9/11 world.
