It criticizes postcolonial Jewish studies for overlooking how Jewish victims became victimisers, including the transformation implied by Zionism and broader colonial-era roles of individual Jews, and it seeks to explain the missing component.","406 Other Europes  \nLiterary Works  \nKureishi, Hanif (1998), My Son the Fanatic, London: Faber and Faber.  \nMaalouf, Amin (1983), Crusades through Arab Eyes, New York: Schocken Books.  \n—(1999), Ports of Call, London and New York: Harvill Press.  \n—(2000), In the Name of Identity: Violence and the Need to Belong, New York: Arcade Publishing.  \nPamuk, Orhan (2004), Snow, New York: Vintage.  \n—(2005), Istanbul: Memories and the City, New York: Vintage.  \nHistories  \nBorradori, Giovanna (2003), Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jurgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida, Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press.  \nBhabha, Homi (1994), The Location of Culture, London: Routledge.  \nDerrida, Jacques (2001), On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness, trans.

This seems a very natural progress of the field. The European Jewish experience from the late Roman era up to the Holocaust is in many ways a trajectory of a  \nThe Jewish Diaspora 407  \nminority’s liberation from oppression. When a postcolonialist paradigm is applied to this history it is easy to see how the chronicles of the European Jews from the third or fourth century AD up to their emancipation in the nineteenth century can be depicted as a struggle against an internal colonialism (Adesanmi 2004). Moreover, although research on the topic has been scarce, there is enough evidence to point to a dialectal relationship developing between anti-Semitic theories and praxis on the one hand, and European colonialist policies, on the other. In short, the adoption of the postcolonialist perspective to European Jewish history and anti-Semitism is a refinement of the accepted narrative of Jewish victimhood in the period mentioned above.  \nHowever, a very important feature is missing from this new trend, and it is not likely to appear in the near future, given the global balances of power which influence knowledge production in the field of Jewish and Israeli studies. Most of these studies ignore the rapid transformation of the Jewish victims into victimisers – as individuals or as a new national Jewish collective within the Zionist and later Israeli contexts.
