Jewish Studies and Postcolonial Studies are often thought to be at odds. Both disciplines
intensively debate modernity troubling its universalist claims and showing the contradictory
nature of its promises. The call to provincialize Europe allows scholars from both disciplines
to think articulate and represent modern experiences beyond Europe and engage critically with
traditions of modernity across disciplines temporalities and geographies. Mapping Sephardi and
other minor perspectives on modernity from across the globe in this volume we are presenting
fascinating cases and exploring new terrain where a fruitful encounter between Jewish and
Postcolonial Studies can happen.With contributions byYael Attia Priyam Goswami Choudhury
