\nTHE ARAB AND THE JEWISH QUESTIONS: <\/strong>GEOGRAPHIES OF ENGAGEMENT IN PALESTINE AND BEYOND<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This book talk discusses the attempts of leading scholars to consider how the \u201cJewish Question\u201d and the \u201cArab Question\u201d are entangled historically and in the present day. It offers critical analyses of Arab engagements with the question of Jewish rights alongside Zionist and non-Zionist Jewish considerations of Palestinian identity and political rights. Together, the essays of the book under discussion show that the Arab and Jewish questions, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which they have become subsumed, belong to the same thorny history. Despite their major differences, the historical Jewish and Arab questions are about the political rights of oppressed groups and their inclusion within exclusionary political communities-a question that continues to foment tensions in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Shedding new light on the intricate relationships among Orientalism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, colonialism, and the impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book reveals the inseparability of Arab and Jewish struggles for self-determination and political equality. The book is an outcome of nearly a decade of direct engagement and dialogue between editors, contributors and experts hosted by the Bruno Kreisky Forum, Vienna.<\/p>\n
