JQ244 - May 2021

The Return of History: New Populism, Old Hatreds Welcome to the new JQ. THE RETURN OF HISTORY investigates rising global populism, and the forces propelling modern nativism and xenophobia. In wide-ranging, lively essays, SIMON SCHAMA explores the age-old tropes of Jews as both purveyors of disease and monopolists of medical wisdom, in the wake of a global pandemic; HOLLY CASE takes us by train to Hungary; MIKOŁAJ GRYNBERG reflects on Poland’s commitment to forgetting its atrocities; and DEBORAH LIPSTADT puts white supremacy under the microscope, examining its antisemitic DNA. Recently discovered letters about Israel from ISAIAH BERLIN To Robert Silvers are published here for the first time. In new sections on History and Community, IAN BLACK revisits a turning point in the Arab–Israeli conflict, and ELLIOT PERLMAN traces the roots of the Jewish farmers in Uganda. And in three insightful, erudite book reviews, HADLEY FREEMAN, BENJAMIN BALINT and ROBERT MANNE cast light on second-generation Holocaust memoirs and the work of Paul Celan and Götz Aly. THE RETURN OF HISTORY is a truly global issue, bringing together esteemed, well-known voices and those you’ll be exhilarated to read

for the first time.

ABOUT

The Jewish Quarterly has cultivated literary journalism of the highest standard for almost seventy years. It is an independent publication that explores Jewish issues, and issues of humanity from a Jewish

perspective.

In 2021, The Jewish Quarterly has relaunched and will be distributed and accessible worldwide. It has been redesigned and published in an elegant book format. Each issue features a major political or cultural theme, investigated in long-form essays by prominent voices from

around the world.

JQ’s mission is not to advocate, but to investigate complex and pressing matters of politics, religion, history and culture, and to do

so in depth.

> _“We are proud to be relaunching The Jewish Quarterly in 2021. Our > only hope is to fulfil the ambitions that Jacob Sonntag envisioned > for the journal when he founded it in 1953.” _ > — Morry Schwartz, Publisher, The Jewish Quarterly

ABOUT THE EDITOR

Jonathan Pearlman is the editor of The Jewish Quarterly. He is also editor of Australian Foreign Affairs and world editor of The Saturday Paper. He previously worked at The Sydney Morning Herald, covering foreign affairs and politics, and as a correspondent in the Middle East. His work has appeared in numerous publications, including The Diplomat, Good Weekend, Australian Book Review and The Jerusalem Report, and he has been a Walkley Award finalist and United Nations Media Award winner. He studied at the University of New South Wales and Oxford University. Our aim is to feature great writers engaging with today’s world – the politics, the dilemmas, the culture – in ways that explore and expose the complexities and curiosities, rather than simplify them. Each issue will address diverse topics and will, I hope, include writing that is compelling, surprising, enriching and a pleasure to

read.

Also included is a feature about the Jews of Kaifeng in China, as well as reviews, correspondence and more.
