Key Words in Jewish Studies

Key Words in Jewish Studies is a series of books that speak to the ferment in a rapidly changing field. Its goal is to provide clear and judiciously illustrated accounts of terms currently in use and to chart histories of past usage, so as to provide an entry into vigorous debate. Key words focus on the interrelationship of areas heretofore studied in isolation, and thus they provide the means to reorganizing knowledge in Jewish studies, consonant with current intellectual concerns. The books in the series are useful for the many new programs in the field, supporting teachers and proving attractive for course use. Far from consolidating and narrowing a critical lexicon, deciphering key words stimulates discussion about the boundaries of Jewish studies, its relationship to other forms of cultural studies, and the position of Jewish studies in the larger sphere of culture. With this series we open a new and exciting chapter in Jewish studies for the 21st century.
