It is a common assumption that in Israel, Jews have sovereignty, and in most other places where Jews live today, they have religious freedom instead. As Simon Rabinovitch shows in this original work, the situation is much more complicated. Jews today possess different kinds of legal rights in states around the world; some stem from religious freedom protections, and others evolved from a longer history of Jewish autonomy. By comparing conflicts between Jewish collective and individual rights in courts and laws across the globe, from the French Revolution to today, this book provides a nuanced legal history of Jewish sovereignty and religious freedom. Rabinovitch weaves key themes in Jewish legal history with the individual stories of litigants, exploring ideas about citizenship and belonging; who is a Jew; what makes a Jewish family; and how to define Jewish space. He uses recent court cases to explore problems of conflicting rights and then situates each case in a wider historical context. This unique comparative history creates a global picture of modern legal development in which Jews continue to use the law to carve out surprising forms of sovereignty. Simon Rabinovitch is the Stotsky Associate Professor of Jewish Historical and Cultural Studies at Northeastern University. He teaches and writes on a range of topics in European, Jewish, Russian, and legal history. Geraldine Gudefin is a French-born modern Jewish historian researching Jewish family life, legal pluralism, and the migration experiences of Jews in France and the United States. She is currently a research fellow at the Hebrew University's Avraham Harman Research Institute of Contemporary Jewry, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939.

In 1894, French artillery officer Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused of passing military secrets to Germany. These swirling accusations and the subsequent degradation and humiliation suffered by Dreyfus constitutes one of history's most notorious incidents of antisemitism. Maurice Samuels speaks to Danny Bird about why the military top brass were so determined to persecute the Jewish officer, and how the Dreyfus affair polarised France.

Maurice Samuels "Le droit à la différence; l'universalisme et les juifs" (La Découverte)Et "Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair" (Yale University Press)Le débat public français charrie une singulière conception de l'universalisme, généralement perçu comme incompatible avec les particularismes : les communautés religieuses ou ethniques, dit-on, doivent renoncer à leurs différences pour entrer dans la communauté nationale. Ce livre important montre que cette conception étroite et rigide est bien plus récente qu'on ne le croit.Grâce à une lecture attentive de la manière dont les responsables politiques, les romanciers, les philosophes ou les cinéastes français ont abordé la question de l'intégration des juifs entre le XVIIIe et le XXe siècle, Maurice Samuels explique que différentes conceptions de l'universalisme n'ont cessé de s'affronter. Et que certaines d'entre elles, parfaitement républicaines, ne cherchaient aucunement à éradiquer les particularités prêtées aux minorités juives.Au contraire, c'est dans l'interaction avec ce particularisme, réel ou imaginaire, que s'est construit l'idéal universaliste français. D'où la tentation, dans certains cas, d'accentuer cette prétendue différence pour montrer la force de l'universalisme français : si la France est capable de faire des juifs des citoyens, n'est-ce pas la preuve de son exceptionnel pouvoir inclusif ?Analysant avec une grande finesse le rapport ambigu que les élites intellectuelles et culturelles françaises ont longtemps entretenu avec les minorités juives, depuis l'abbé Grégoire jusqu'à Jean-Paul Sartre, en passant par Émile Zola ou Jean Renoir, ce livre ouvre des perspectives essentielles, qui éclairent de façon inédite les débats actuels sur le " communautarisme " et le " séparatisme "."Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair" (Yale University Press) En Anglais est une nouvelle biographie passionnante de Dreyfus : L'homme au centre de l'Affaire.Musique : "Dreyfus" de Yves Duteil et Ella Fitzgerald « I love Paris »Hébergé par Ausha.
