    [synopsis] => The Irish and the Jews are two of the classic outliers of modern Europe. Both struggled with 
their lack of formal political sovereignty in the nineteenth-century. Simultaneously 
European and not European, both endured a bifurcated status, perceived as racially inferior and 
yet also seen as a natural part of the European landscape. Both sought to deal with their 
subaltern status through nationalism; both had a tangled, ambiguous, and sometimes violent 
relationship with Britain and the British Empire; and both sought to revive ancient languages as 
part of their drive to create a new identity. The career of Irish politician Robert Briscoe and the 
travails of Leopold Bloom are just two examples of the delicate balancing of Irish and Jewish 
identities in the first half of the twentieth century.
Irish Questions and Jewish Questions explores these shared histories, covering several 
centuries of the Jewish experience in Ireland, as well as events in Israel–Palestine and North 
America. The authors examine the leading figures of both national movements to reveal how 
each had an active interest in the successes, and failures, of the other. Bringing together 
leading and emerging scholars from the fields of Irish studies and Jewish studies, this volume 
captures the most recent scholarship on their comparative history with nuance
and remarkable insight.
