What if the Jews of Spain had not been expelled in 1492? What if Eastern European Jews had never been confined to the Russian Pale of Settlement? What if Adolf Hitler had been assassinated in 1939? What if a Jewish state had been established in Uganda instead of Palestine? Gavriel D. Rosenfeld's pioneering anthology examines how these and other counterfactual questions would have affected the course of Jewish history. Featuring essays by sixteen distinguished scholars in the field of Jewish Studies, What Ifs of Jewish History is the first volume to systematically apply counterfactual reasoning to the Jewish past. Written in a variety of narrative styles, ranging from the analytical to the literary, the essays cover three thousand years of dramatic events and invite readers to indulge their imaginations and explore how the course of Jewish history might have been different. 606 $aJews$xHistory 606 $aJudaism$xHistory 606 $aImaginary histories 606 $aJews$xHistory$vMiscellanea 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aImaginary histories. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 676 $a909/.0924 701 2$aWeitzman$b Steven$f1965-$0932857 702 $aRosenfeld$b Gavriel David$f1967- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155152303321 996 $aWhat ifs of Jewish history$92583396 997 $aUNINA
