Jewish Antifascism and the False Promise of Settler Colonialism

More about the book

Focusing on the histories of radical Jewish movements, the book explores their Holocaust memorialization and connections to anti-colonial and anti-racist struggles, particularly in Australia during the 1940s and early 1950s. It presents a cultural and intellectual history of Jewish antifascism through a transnational lens, highlighting how this ideology emerged globally. The narrative argues that Jewish antifascism provided an alternative political path that was hindered by the intertwining ideologies of settler colonialism in both Palestine and Australia.
