Specificatii
A glimpse into the diverse stories of Black Jews in the United
States What makes a Jew? This book traces the history of Jews of
African descent in America and the counter-narratives they have put
forward as they stake their claims to Jewishness. The Soul of
Judaism offers the first exploration of the full diversity of Black
Jews, including bi-racial Jews of both matrilineal and patrilineal
descent; adoptees; black converts to Judaism; and Black Hebrews and
Israelites, who trace their Jewish roots to Africa and challenge
the dominant western paradigm of Jews as white and of European
descent.Blending historical analysis and oral history, Haynes
showcases the lives of Black Jews within the Orthodox,
Conservative, Reconstruction and Reform movements, as well as the
religious approaches that push the boundaries of the common forms
of Judaism we know today. He illuminates how in the quest to claim
whiteness, American Jews of European descent gained the freedom to
express their identity fluidly while African Americans have
continued to be seen as a fixed racial group. This book
demonstrates that racial ascription has been shaping Jewish
selfhood for centuries. Pushing us to reassess the boundaries
between race and ethnicity, it offers insight into how Black Jewish
individuals strive to assert their dual identities and find
acceptance within their respective communities. Putting to rest the
simplistic notion that Jews are white and that Black Jews are
therefore a contradiction, the volume argues that we can no longer
pigeonhole Black Hebrews and Israelites as exotic, militant, and
nationalistic sects outside the boundaries of mainstream Jewish
thought and community life. The volume spurs us to consider the
significance of the growing population of self-identified Black
Jews and its implications for the future of American Jewry.
