Between Mumbai and Manila
Judaism in Asia since the Founding of the State of Israel (Proceedings of the International Conference, held at the Department of Comparative Religion of the University of Bonn. May 30, to June 1,2012)
Der Band bietet einen Einblick in die Vielfalt und 'Internationalität' des Judentums zwischen Mumbai und Manila. Einige Beiträge behandeln Fragen der untrennbaren Verflechtungen zwischen Politik und Judentum, andere scheinen auf den ersten Blick primär Lokalstudien zu jüdischen Gemeinden in Südasien, Südostasien und China zu sein. Aber es ist unverkennbar, dass auch lokale Gemeinden immer in ein Netzwerk des globalen Judentums eingebettet sind, zugleich aber mit den dominierenden Religionen in den jeweiligen asiatischen Ländern interagieren und so interkulturelle Kontakte fördern.

Zusatztext
The volume offers a diversity of facets of Jewry between Mumbai and Manila. While some of its papers make references to the important factor how politics and religions are often intertwined, other papers are arranged along the lines of area studies - from South Asia via Southeast Asia to China and the Far East. Even if these articles at first glance concentrate on local minority communities they always take into ac count that the Jewish communities in Asia take part in interactions of religions which can help to foster mutual understanding. The studies presented at the conference refer to an extended approach always bringing Jewish Studies into international links and crossing borders - thus opening comparative perspectives to broaden our knowledge of Jewish history. So we have to reconsider aspects of Jewish studies for the future, which would include Asian and religious studies in a qualitative, comparative, and interdisciplinary way and thus can shift away from the Euro-American-centric point of view regarding Jewish Studies.
