First-Century Christians in Twenty-First Century Africa: Between Law and Grace in Gabon and Madagascar
Judaising Movements: Studies in the Margins of Judaism in Modern Times
Jews, Muslims and Mass Media: Mediating the 'Other'
This text looks at the ways in which Jews, Muslims and the conflict between them has been covered in the modern media. Both Jews and Muslims generally receive a 'bad press'. This book will try to reveal why. The media have clearly played a pro-active role in the Middle East conflict, the coverage of which is obscured by the contrasting images of Jew and Muslim in western thought
Black Jews in Africa and the Americas
Black Jews in Africa and the Americas tells the fascinating story of how the Ashanti, Tutsi, Igbo, Zulu, Beta Israel, Maasai, and many other African peoples came to think of themselves as descendants of the ancient tribes of Israel. Pursuing medieval and modern European race narratives over a millennium in which not only were Jews cast as black but black Africans were cast as Jews, Tudor Parfitt reveals a complex history of the interaction betwee…
Y chromosomes of self-identified Syeds from the Indian subcontinent show evidence of elevated Arab ancestry but not of a recent common patrilineal origin
Genetics, History, and Identity: The Case of the Bene Israel and the Lemba
The Development of Fictive Israelite Identities in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific (17th-21th c.)
Die Entwicklung fiktiver jüdischer Identitäten in Papua-Neuguinea und im pazifischen Raum (17. -21. Jahrhundert). In früheren Arbeiten habe ich dargelegt, auf welche Weise der Einfluß des «Orientalismus» - dieses wesentlichen Elementes kolonialer Mechanismen und kolonialistischer Ideologien - weltweit dazu beigetragen hat, fiktive jüdische Identitäten entstehen zu lassen. In diesem Artikel wird die Untersuchung auf den pazifischen Raum und dort v…
Place, Priestly Status and Purity: The Impact of Genetic Research on an Indian Jewish Community
The Bene Israel is a Jewish community in western India whose origins are unknown from conventional sources. This paper discusses a genetic ancestry study that mapped Bene Israel geneaologies and the impact of the study on the Bene Israel
Constructing Black Jews: Genetic Tests and the Lemba – the ‘Black Jews’ of South Africa
This commentary examines the use of Y‐chromosome testing to reconstruct a genetic ancestry for the Lemba, a group in southern Africa that has long considered itself Jewish. The commentary looks especially at the reasons why this project drew such attention from the mainstream media

Judaising movements: Studies in the margins of Judaism
The history of Judaising movements has been largely ignored by historians of religion. This volume analyzes the interplay between colonialism, a Judaism not traditionally viewed as proselytising but which at certain points was struggling to heed the Prophets and become a light unto the Gentiles' and the attraction for many different peoples of the rooted historicity of Judaism and by the symbolic appropriation of Jewish suffering. This book will …
