The Jews in Mussolini's Italy
Provides a comprehensive history from the rise of fascism in 1922 to its defeat in 1945. The author uses statistical evidence to document how the Italian social climate changed from relatively just to irredeemably prejudicial. He demonstrates that Rome did not simply follow the lead of Berlin.
Sacrifice
Various fundamental and vital areas and aspects of human life are in some way crucially interwoven with the ideas, ideals, and practices of sacrifice. As an attention-grabbing example of how importantly sacrifice may influence society, let us mention (suicide) terrorist attacks that by spreading sorrow, panics, and fear have changed the face of today's world. But the importance of sacrifice reaches broader and deeper. The authors of this book show that it is connected with the origins of human culture and its transformations. This interdisciplinary book brings the results of the research in the areas of humanities and social science. Various aspects of sacrifice are considered and connected. The book is an important contribution to the formation of a culture of sacrifice and offering, appropriate for the modern world. Professor Robert Petkovsek is the Dean of the Faculty of Theology, University of Ljubljana. Research Professor Bojan Zalec is the Head of the Institute of Philosophy and Social Ethics at the Faculty of Theology, University of Ljubljana.
Religious Changes and Cultural Transformations in the Early Modern Western Sephardic Communities
From the sixteenth century on, hundreds of Portuguese New Christians began to flow to Venice and Livorno in Italy, and to Amsterdam and Hamburg in northwest Europe. In those cities and later in London, Bordeaux, and Bayonne as well, Iberian conversos established their own Jewish communities, openly adhering to Judaism. Despite the features these communities shared with other confessional groups in exile, what set them apart was very significant. In contrast to other European confessional communities, whose religious affiliation was uninterrupted, the Western Sephardic Jews came to Judaism after a separation of generations from the religion of their ancestors. In this edited volume, several experts in the field detail the religious and cultural changes that occurred in the Early Modern Western Sephardic communities. "Highly recommended for all academic and Jewish libraries." - David B Levy, Touro College, NYC, in: Association of Jewish Libraries News and Reviews 1.2 (2019)
Italian Jewish Women in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
This book investigates one of the major issues that runs through the history of Italian Judaism in the aftermath of emancipation: the correlation between integration, seen as the acquisition of citizenship and culture without renouncing Jewish identity, and assimilation, intended as an open refusal of Judaism of any participation in the community. On account of that correlation, identity has become one of the crucial problems in the history of the Italian Jewish community. This volume aims to discuss the setting of construction and formation--the family-- and focuses on women's experiences, specifically. Indeed, women were called through emancipation to ensure the continuity of Jewish religious and cultural heritage. It speaks to the growing interest for Women's and Gender Studies in Italy, and for the research on women's organizations which testify to the strong presence of Jewish women in the emancipation movement. These women formed a sisterhood that fought to obtain rights that were until then only accorded to men, and they were deeply socially engaged in such a way that was crucial to the overall process of the integration of Jews into Italian society.

Das Kreuz der Kirche mit der Demokratie
Bis weit in das 20. Jahrhundert galt die Demokratie fur die Kirchen nicht als die ideale Staatsform. Seit der Erklarung uber die Religionsfreiheit (1965) hat die katholische Kirche versucht, ein neues Verhaltnis zu den Prinzipien von Demokratie und Offentlichkeit zu gewinnen. Sie versteht sich selbst heute als Teil der demokratischen Zivilgesellschaft, als Grossbewegung zur Verteidigung und zum Schutz der Wurde des Menschen (Johannes Paul II.). Wie hat sie zur Anerkennung des demokratischen Rechtsstaats gefunden? Wie gestaltet dieser seinerseits sein Verhaltnis zu den Religionsgemeinschaften? Wie wirkt das staatliche Gleichstellungsgesetz auf die Stellung der Frau in der Kirche ein? Welche Lernchancen bietet das Miteinander von Kirchenrecht und offentlichrechtlichen Strukturen'.

Religion und Öffentlichkeit
In den letzten Jahren ist Religion wieder starker in der Offentlichkeit sichtbar geworden & sei es, dass uber Religion diskutiert wird, sei es, dass sich Religionsgemeinschaften als solche in der Offentlichkeit zu erkennen geben, Forderungen stellen, kontroverse Positionen vertreten. Zum einen lasst sich ein quantitativ vermehrtes und qualitativ prononcierteres Auftreten von Religionsgemeinschaften beobachten, zum anderen findet dieses Phanomen seinen Niederschlag in der offentlichen Wahrnehmung: in Medien, Wissenschaft, Politik, Schule. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes gehen den verschiedenen Aspekten des Phanomens nach und versuchen, Perspektiven fur den Umgang der Offentlichkeit mit den Religionen und der Religionen mit der Offentlichkeit zu skizzieren.
