Indeed, Jewish peoplehood has eclipsed religion-as well as ethnicity and nationality-as the essence of what binds Jews around the globe to one another. In \u003ci\u003eJewish Peoplehood\u003c\/i\u003e, Noam Pianko highlights the current significance and future relevance of “peoplehood” by tracing the rise, transformation, and return of this novel term. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe book tells the surprising story of peoplehood. Though it evokes a sense of timelessness, the term actually emerged in the United States in the 1930s, where it was introduced by American Jewish leaders, most notably Rabbi Stephen Wise and Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, with close ties to the Zionist movement. It engendered a sense of unity that transcended religious differences, cultural practices, geographic distance, economic disparity, and political divides, fostering solidarity with other Jews facing common existential threats, including the Holocaust, and establishing a closer connection to the Jewish homeland. But today, Pianko points out, as globalization erodes the dominance of nationalism in shaping collective identity, Jewish peoplehood risks becoming an outdated paradigm. He explains why popular models of peoplehood fail to address emerging conceptions of ethnicity, nationalism, and race, and he concludes with a much-needed roadmap for a radical reconfiguration of Jewish collectivity in an increasingly global era.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInnovative and provocative, \u003ci\u003eJewish Peoplehood\u003c\/i\u003e provides fascinating insight into a term that assumes an increasingly important position at the heart of American Jewish and Israeli life.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFor additional information go to:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href='\"http:\/\/www.noampianko.net\"' target='\"_blank\"'\u003ehttp:\/\/www.noampianko.net\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eForeword, by Deborah Dash Moore, MacDonald Moore, and Andrew Bush\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: A Deceptively Simple Key Word\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1   Terms of Debate: Jewish Nationhood and American Peoplehood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Is a Nation?: Peoplehood’\u003cbr\u003es European Precursors\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Emergence of Peoplehood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1948, Israel, and a Crisis of Terminology\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFrom Critique to Code Word\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInto the American Mainstream\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2   State of the Question: Enduring Entity or Constructed Community\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eUnity, Solidarity, Statehood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNationalism, Globalization, and the Limits of Peoplehood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRace, Ethnicity, and Peoplehood Studies\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eJewish Studies and Jewish Peoplehood\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3   In a New Key: Can Peoplehood Speak to a Global Era?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eJewish: From Periphery to Center, From Describing to Defining\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNeighborhood: From National to Local, From Core to Cohort\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eProject: From Being to Doing, From Essence to Action\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eJewishhood Project(s)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNotes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIndex\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559335555352,"sku":"9780813563657","price":83.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/jewish-peoplehood-an-american-innovation-hardback-9780813563657","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
