Grappling with the dilemmas of contemporary Jewishness, this book sketches the faultlines in the Jewish sense of identity. It offers a different reading of Jewish history, arguing that the narrative of relentless woe and suffering popularised by nineteenth-century writers, such as George Eliot was based on a highly selective reading of the past.
