After the Rescue: Jewish Identity and Community in Contemporary Denmark (Contemporary Anthropology of Religion) - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
In October of 1943, the Danish resistance rescued almost all of the Jews in Copenhagen from roundups by the occupying Nazis. In the years since, Jews have become deeply engaged in a Danish culture that presents very few barriers of anti-Semitism or prejudice. This telling ethnographic study explores the questions that such inclusion raises for the Danish Jews, and what their answers can tell us about the meaning of religion, ethnicity, and community in modern society.Social scientists have long argued that modernity poses challenges to traditional ethnic communities, by breaking down the networks of locality, kinship, religion, and occupation that have held such communities together. For Danish Jews, inclusion into the larger society has led to increasing fragmentation, as the community has split into a bewildering array of religious, social, and political factions. The community’s persistent vitality in the face of such fragmentation, and the ongoing importance of Jewishness to the self-identity of its members, points to a new understanding of the meaning of ethnic community in contemporary society.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In October 1943, the Danish resistance rescued almost all of the Jews in Copenhagen from round-ups by the occupying Nazis. In the years since, Jews have become deeply engaged in a Danish culture that presents very few barriers of anti-semitism or prejudice. This book explores the questions that such inclusion raises for the Danish Jews, and what their answers can tell us about the meaning of religion, ethnicity and community in modern society. Social scientists have long argued that modernity poses challenges for traditional ethnic communities, by breaking down the networks of locality, kinship, religion and occupation that have held such communities together. For the Danish Jews, inclusion into the larger society has led to increasing fragmentation, as the community has split into a bewildering array of religious, social and political factions. Yet it remains one of Scandinavia's most vital religious organizations and Jewishness remains central to self-understanding for thousands of its members.How this has happened - how the Jewish world has maintained its significance while losing any sense of coherence or unity - suggests a new understanding of the meaning of ethnic community in contemporary society. In 1943, the Danish resistance rescued the Jews in Copenhagen from the occupying Nazis. Jews have become engaged in a Danish culture with little antisemitism or prejudice. This book explores the questions that such inclusion raises for the Danish Jews, and what this tells us about the meaning of religion, ethnicity and community today. This item is printed on demand.
