The journey is "at the heart of Jewish experience," but relevant to other migrant groups as well. Scholars at the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations, University of Southampton, UK, introduce 17 conference-based essays that explore multiple dimensions of Jewish journeys. Drawing on memoirs, interviews, and rare archives, journeys are treated in specific and broader cultural contexts. E.g., case studies focus on medieval stereotypes of "wandering" Jews under pressure to journey to Christian enlightenment; the role of kosher food in easing the transit of early immigrants to the US; the role of women and the family in preserving communal identity; and the impact of Jewish immigrants' ideas on the American and British film industries.
