The Jewish–Chinese Nexus
explores, through a collection of chapters, the
nexus between two of the oldest, intact, starkly contrasting and most inter-
esting civilizations on earth; Jews and Chinese. This volume studies how they
are interacting in modernity; how they view each other; what areas of
cooperation are evolving between their scholars, activists and politicians; and
what talents, qualities and social assets are being recognized on each side for
the purpose of cooperation and exchange.
Featuring contributions from some of the most important scholars and
activists from China and from around the Jewish Diaspora, the essays purview
China-related themes including the fascination of Chinese with Jews, and
Judaism and its potential value in Chinese national and religious reconstruction;
religious and ethnic identity; and East–West interactions. It deals with the
growing Jewish community in China and its impact, as well as the development
of Jewish studies in China and the translation of Jewish texts into Chinese and
their impact.
The work is a first of its kind, identifying an emerging meeting point between
these two peoples, and arguing that, despite the giant contrasts in their national
constructs, they have nonetheless other important patterns and themes in
common that pave the way for fruitful cooperation and mutual respect. As
such, it is indispensable for students of China as well as the Jewish Diaspora and
provides useful reading for Western tourists to China.
