Klappentext zu „Parting Ways “
Judith Butler follows Edward Saids late suggestion that only through a consideration of Palestinian dispossession in relation to Jewish diasporic traditions will a new ethos for a one-state solution emerge. Butler draws upon some Jewish traditions of thought to consider the rights of the dispossessed, the necessity of plural cohabitation, and the dangers of arbitrary state violence, showing how they can be extended to a critique of Zionism, even when that is not their purpose. Butler engages thinkers such as Edward Said, Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Primo Levi, Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, and Mahmoud Darwish. She revisits and affirms Edward Saids late proposals for a one-state solution. Butlers startling suggestion: Jewish ethics not only demand a critique of Zionism, but must transcend its exclusive Jewishness in order to realize the ethical and political ideals of living together in radical democracy

Rezension zu „Parting Ways “
This is an incredibly important and timely book. As always, Butler generates a brilliant and rich argument through a series of readings, in this case, complex and nuanced engagements with the work of Said, Levinas, Benjamin, Arendt, Levi, and Darwish. The book is intent on showing that one can develop from Jewish sources a perspective on Israel-Palestine that is non-Zionist and that it might even be possible to assert resistance to Zionism as itself a "Jewish" value. Thes scare-quotes are Bulter's, who constantly questions what it means to be Jewish. -- Amy Hollywood
