Description

"[This book] addresses an extremely difficult and complex theme, one which (to my knowledge) has not been focused on in a sustained way before: the pedagogy of the Holocaust in Diaspora Jewish secondary schools, especially vis-à-vis Zionism. It contains fascinating material and much of the analysis is provocative and worthwhile." · Jonathan Boyarin, Cornell University "What is so interesting and admirable is the way the author probes and explores various conceptual and methodological questions, problematizing rather than imposing absolute judgments, and always writing with sympathy and empathy and a subtle awareness of possible contradictions... From the first sentence of the Introduction the reader realizes that the book is beautifully written, often idiomatic, and conversational and engagingly personal." · John Docker, The University of Sydney Over the last seventy years, memories and narratives of the Holocaust have played a significant role in constructing Jewish communities. The author explores one field where these narratives are disseminated: Holocaust pedagogy in Jewish schools in Melbourne and New York. Bringing together a diverse range of critical approaches, including memory studies, gender studies, diaspora theory, and settler colonial studies, Anxious Histories complicates the stories being told about the Holocaust in these Jewish schools and their broader communities. It demonstrates that an anxious thread runs throughout these historical narratives, as the pedagogy negotiates feelings of simultaneous belonging and not-belonging in the West and in Zionism. In locating that anxiety, the possibilities and the limitations of narrating histories of the Holocaust are opened up once again for analysis, critique, discussion, and development. Jordana Silverstein is Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Historical Studies at the University of Melbourne, with the ARC Laureate Fellowship Project "Child Refugees and Australian Internationalism: 1920 to the Present."
