Summary:'The Oxford Handbook of the Jewish Diaspora' is a comprehensive collection of scholarship that reflects the multifaceted nature of diaspora studies. Persecuted and exiled throughout their history, Jews have also continuously migrated to places offering better opportunities, yet the Jewish people have been defined by their permanent lack of belonging. This resource explores the complicated nature of diasporic Jewish life as something both destructive and creative. The contributors explore subjects as diverse as biblical and medieval representations of diaspora, the various diaspora communities that emerged across the globe, the contradictory relationship the diaspora bears to Israel, and how the diaspora is celebrated and debated within modern Jewish thought
