This book puts two of the most significant Jewish Diaspora communities outside of the U.

S.

into conversation with one another.

At times contributor-pairs directly compare unique aspects of two Jewish histories, politics, or cultures.

At other times, they juxtapose.

Some chapters focus on literature, poetry, theatre, or sport; others on immigration, antisemitism, or health.

Taken together, the essays in Promised Lands North and South offer sparkling insight and new depth on the modern Jewish global experience.
