Challenging the assumption of cultural uniformity among Ashkenazi Jews, the contributors consider how ethnographic literature defines Jews and Jewishness, the political context of Jewish ethnography, and the question of audience, readers, and listeners. With contributions from leading scholars and an appendix of translated historical ethnographies, this volume presents vivid case studies across linguistic and disciplinary divides, revealing a rich textual history that throws the complexity and diversity of a people into sharp relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndreas Kilcher is a professor at ETH Zurich and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Linguistic Theory of Kabbalah as an Aesthetical Paradigm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDictionary of German-Jewish Literature\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGabriella Safran is the Eva Chernov Lokey Professor in Jewish Studies at Stanford University and author of \u003ci\u003eWandering Soul: The Dybbuk's Creator, S.
