Jewish Communities in Modern Asia: Their Rise, Demise and Resurgence
Jewish settlement in Asia, beyond the Middle East, is largely a modern phenomenon. Imperial expansion and adventurism by Great Britain and Russia were the chief motors that initially drove Jewish settlers to move eastwards, in the nineteenth century, combined as this was with the rise of port cities and general development of the global economy. The new immigrants soon become centrally involved, in ways quite disproportionate to their numbers, in…
Uphill political struggle: Joseph Trumpeldor in Japan and Manchuria, 1904‒1906
Russian-Jewish army officer Joseph Trumpeldor (1880–1920) was arguably the most celebrated Jewish military hero of the first half of the twentieth century. He lost his left arm during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 and endured a year-long Japanese imprisonment. In 1905–1906, en route back to European Russia, Trumpeldor visited the Manchurian city of Harbin and attempted to impart Zionism to the local Russian-Jewish population, albeit with ve…
Jewish Identities in East and Southeast Asia: Singapore, Manila, Taipei, Harbin, Shanghai, Rangoon, and Surabaya

Shaping Zionist Identity: The Jews of Manila as a Case Study
Memory, Place and Displacement in the Formation of Jewish Identity in Rangoon and Surabaya
In nineteenth and early twentieth century Rangoon, Burma, and Surabaya, Dutch East Indies, ‘memory’[zachor], ‘source’[makor], and ‘location’ [makom] were important determinants of Jewish identity. Jews lived in alien contexts but tolerant surroundings. Immigrant Jews were civically included and could organise freely. Each city was a tranquil location where Jews could deepen their commitment to Rabbinic Judaism and/or Zion. But precisely the same …
Singapore, Manila and Harbin as Reference Points for Asian ‘Port Jewish’ Identity
The Republic of China and Israel, 1911–2003
The relations between the Republic of China (ROC), the Zionist founding founders, and the state of Israel can be broken down into five distinct phases: (1) Active support for Zionism from the Balfour December 1917 to August 1945; (2) From September 1945 to the signing of the first Israeli–Arab armistice on Rhodes in February 1949, the ROC abstained on the UN votes leading to Israel's creation and its admission into the world organization; (3) Bet…

An Interdisciplinary Experiment in Teaching the American‐Indochina War
Vietnam research on campus: The summit/spicerack controversy at the university of Pennsylvania, 1965–67
The current debate over compensation to Vietnam War veterans whose health was apparently impaired while spraying “Agent Orange” has diverted the concern of many American academics from the impact of that spraying on a large civilian population. During that war this ethical concern received more attention from U.S. academics than it does today. In 1966, twenty-two U.S. scientists, including seven Nobel laureates, petitioned President Johnson to en…
