The Question of Assimilation in French Jewish Historiography
This article examines one of the defining features of French Jewish historiography: the debate over assimilation. Beginning with Jewish nationalist historians in the late nineteenth century, French Jews were accused of having gladly renounced their Jewish identity to partake of the benefits of emancipation. Twentieth-century historians writing in the wake of Hannah Arendt offered a similar condemnation of the “politics of assimilation.” At the en…
Literature and the Study of Anti-Semitism
This article asks what historians might have to learn from recent trends in literary scholarship and takes the example of anti-Semitism in literature as a case study. Focusing mainly on New Historicist critical approaches to literary texts about Jews and Judaism, but also touching on other methodologies, including the psychoanalytic, the article examines what anti-Semitic literature has been shown to reveal about ideologies such as nationalism an…
The Right to Difference
The Cambridge Companion to European Modernism
Modernism arose in a period of accelerating globalization in the late nineteenth century. Modernist writers and artists, while often loyal to their country in times of war, aimed to rise above the national and ideological conflicts of the early twentieth century in service to a cosmopolitan ideal. This Companion explores the international aspects of literary modernism by mapping the history of the movement across Europe and within each country. T…
Grounding Evaluations in Culture
The emergence of and the attention given to culture in the evaluation field over the last decade has created a heightened awareness of and need for evaluators to understand the complexity and multidimensionality of evaluations within multicultural, multiracial, and cross-cultural contexts. In this article, the authors discuss how cultural considerations can be incorporated within other evaluation approaches (e.g., school-based evaluation). The au…
Inventing the Israelite
"In this book, Maurice Samuels brings to light a series of little-known works of literature produced from 1830 to 1870 by the first generation of Jews born as French citizens. These writers, Samuels asserts, used fiction as a laboratory to experiment with new forms of Jewish identity relevant to the modern world. In their stories and novels, they responded to the stereotypical depictions of Jews in French culture while creatively adapting the for…

What Should School-Based Evaluation Look Like
Students’ Motivation for Standardized Math Exams
The recent No Child Left Behind legislation has defined a vital role for large-scale assessment in determining whether students are learning. Given this increased role of standardized testing as a means of accountability, the purpose of this article is to consider how individual differences in motivational and psychological processes may contribute to performance on high-stakes math assessments. The authors consider individual differences in proc…

Realizing the Past
IN BALZAC'S Adieu (1830), a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars attempts to cure his lover of the madness she suffered while accompanying his regiment on the Russian campaign by reconstructing, on his estate in France, an exact replica of the battlefield on which she lost her sanity. A river is dug, peasants are costumed as soldiers, bridges are built and burned. The ex-soldier's heroic effort at historical representation succeeds, but at a price: res…
