Ethnoscripts: Jewish Cultural Heritage, Minority Agency, and the State
eds. Miranda Crowdus, Yulia Egorova, and Sami Everett
Using an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersections of anthropology, Jewish Studies, and critical academic scholarship of heritage, this special issue presents ethnographic examples to explore the relationship between minority groups and the state through the prism of representations of Jewish cultural heritage in the European public sphere. On an empirical level, the articles focus on personal, community-led, and wider public discussions of the way Jewish experience and histories of migration have been (or should be) represented in museums and historical sites, in musical productions and open-air displays, at sites of restitution and in virtual spaces.
Key words: Jewish heritage, agency, Europe, minorities, state
