As the wider country confronted the legacies of the Holocaust and the decline of its colonial empire, Jewish thinkers questioned the boundaries of their own political identity and challenged prevailing paradigms of Western universalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book traces how prominent and lesser-known thinkers—including Albert Memmi, Emmanuel Levinas, Alain Finkielkraut, and Wladimir Rabi—as well as organisations like the \u003cem\u003eColloque des intellectuels juifs de langue française\u003c\/em\u003e engaged with issues of oppression, nationhood, and communal identity, and the ways that colonialism and its afterlives shaped those discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKranz reveals how the Jewish question itself changed shape through confrontations with postcolonial politics.
