Rosenberg Joel: Navigating Catastrophe
in Cinema of Jewish Experience

Navigating Catastrophe in Cinema of Jewish Experience

Five Studies in Mass Media and Mass Destruction

Yiddish Voices

This book provides the first ever English translation of the Yiddish play, Mississippi. Penned in 1935 by Leyb Malakh, it was commissioned for production by a Warsaw-based experimental Yiddish theatre company and was focused on the racial injustice of the Scottsboro Boys case which began with the wrongful arrest of nine African-American youths in Alabama, 1931. The book includes a detailed, multifaceted scholarly introduction which ranges widely and effectively across the various historical and literary contexts in which the play can be appreciated.

As our volume shows, both the writer and the director, Michal Weichert, were keen to depict a dramatic episode from contemporary life that reflected the leftist goals and ideas to which they were devoted. Alyssa Quint examines the fact that while the plight of the Scottsboro Boys lasted throughout the 1930s and inspired works of Communist or leftist struggle by a substantial number of artists and writers in the United States, few beyond America took on the subject. She looks at how Malakh's drama reflects the influence of the African American writer Langston Hughes, who wrote Scottsboro Limited in 1931 after the Boys' first trial when they were sentenced to death. Writing in 1935, after a number of successful appeals, Malakh refers to the rallies that took place throughout Europe in protest of the Boys' arrest and sentencing. The introduction also shows how the play reflects the influence of 'synchronous theater' (akin to immersive theater) as well as other avant-garde theatrical strategies of the time. Quint goes on to consider the substantial success of Mississippi, which played on city stages at least one hundred times throughout Poland and attracted significant critical attention, and what this can tell us about the connection between the Jewish people of Europe and African-Americans around this time.

A Yiddish Play about the Scottsboro Boys

Mississippi (1935) By Leyb Malakh

When the young Tunisian street vendor, Muhammad Bou Azizi, set himself alight in December 2010, he ignited a movement that in three weeks toppled the twenty-three year old dictatorship of President Ben Ali. Tunisia's 2011 uprising took experts by surprise. Few in the West looked to Tunisia's history of dissent and rebellion as a way to understand the present moment. However, in the country itself, headlines read "2011 revives the memory of 1864". 
 
This is the first work in English to address the significance of Tunisia's 1864 rebellion for understanding Tunisia's 2011 experience, and its reverberation across the Arab world. Using a variety of sources - from state archives and scholarly monographs, to poetry festivals, theater productions, radio and TV programs - the book reveals a documented history of political manipulation and popular resistance to it. Power and Protest in Tunisia traces the battle for the memory of the original anti-tax, anti-centre rebellion of 1864 that brought Tunisia's tribes into a fragile but year-long alliance with coastal town populations. It uniquely places the recent revolution in the context of past social struggles emerging from the same interior regions. 
 
The book demonstrates how and why various regimes used the 1864 revolt to justify political agendas across the longue durée, from the liberal 'reform' era of the beys (Ottoman provincial governors) to the postcolonial present. Successive regimes have used this history to instill fear and suppress dissent, but this book shows that popular memory has preserved the event as a powerful symbolic example of collective mobilization against injustice and corruption-one that nearly toppled a dynasty.

"Mulki Al-Sharmani examines the goals, approaches and methodologies which key scholars have adopted in their efforts at crafting an Islamic feminist discourse. Al-Sharmani also shows that Islamic feminism is a phenomenon which extends far beyond academia. Drawing on the author's own extensive research and interviews with women in Egypt, the UK, Malaysia, Finland and elsewhere, the book explores how ordinary Muslim women in both the West and the Islamic world are increasingly asserting their autonomy and challenging patriarchal interpretations of their religion, as well as exploring the linkages between Islamic feminist scholarship and the realities of these women's lived experiences"--

An incisive study of Islamic feminist scholarship and of the role of ordinary Muslim women in shaping Islamic attitudes, which upends many of our preconceptions about the religion.

Understanding Religion and Society: Identity, Meaning and Knowledge is aimed at undergraduate students studying religion within a social science context. Its central focus is on the roles that religion plays within social life and how these roles influence the economic, political, and socio-cultural aspects of different societies. Identity, meaning and knowledge provision are identified as underpinning all of religion’s other socio-cultural functions. The book uses these three elements as central themes – a means to explore the ways in which religion operates within different societies. The book will review a range of key issues and debates within the social science study of religion, including the secularization thesis. It will review key global religious trends, such as the growth of religious fundamentalism, new religious movements, and New Age believing. The book will have a range of pedagogic features, including, short ‘boxed’ case studies, reflective questions and activities, suggested readings, media and online resources.
