Modernity of Others - Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France

Zusatztext "With impressive erudition, Ari Joskowicz straddles the divide between French and German history in this important new book about Jewish anti-Catholicism. Not a typical comparative study, The Modernity of Others shows that these histories are 'entangled' rather than fully separate, interacting with one another while remaining distinct. This fascinating approach provides new ways to think about Jewish modernization, as well as about the construction of 'secularism' in modern France and Germany." Informationen zum Autor Ari Joskowicz is Assistant Professor Jewish Studies and European Studies at Vanderbilt University. Klappentext The book traces how German and French Jews employed anti-Catholic polemics to create their own visions of modernity, national belonging, and proper religiosity from the Enlightenment to the early twentieth century.
