Jewish Antifascism and the False Promise of Settler Colonialism

More about the book

Focusing on radical Jewish movements, this book examines their Holocaust memorialization and ties to anti-colonial and anti-racist efforts, particularly in Australia during the 1940s and early 1950s. It presents a cultural and intellectual history of Jewish antifascism through a transnational perspective, highlighting how this ideology emerged globally. The author argues that Jewish antifascism provided an alternative political path for Jewish communities, which was constrained by the prevailing ideologies of settler colonialism in both Palestine and Australia.
