(Author: Juan-Paul Burke, Vol. 73, No. 1, Pesach 2018)
At the end of 2016, I was asked to compile a bibliography of articles, books and theses as pertain to South African Jewry and Jewish Studies. I knew a few academics writing in the field, but having systematically commenced my searches, I was pleasantly surprised to realize just how much is being written on a variety of topics to do with South African Jewry and Jewish Studies around the country and even further afield.
It was not always obvious what should be included in this bibliography but I have applied a few principles as guidelines. Anything from local community publications has been excluded as it goes without saying that these will be filled with South African Jewish content. Therefore you will find nothing in this listing from Jewish Affairs, SA-SIG Newsletter, Jewish Report, CJC, Hashalom, Jewish Life, Jewish Tradition, Perspective etc. Also excluded are non-Jewish newspapers and magazines and texts where the authors are Jewish but write about something not related to local Jewry or Jewish Studies.
I have included academic, popular and religious texts found in academic journals, books or as theses. In general, unpublished papers presented at conferences are not listed, but an exception has been made with one that I felt was significant enough to include to highlight what research is being done.
This listing cannot be claimed to be comprehensive and it is more than likely that certain items have been missed. It is intended that these be listed in a letter to the editor for the next edition of Jewish Affairs. I appeal to readers to inform me of any edits or suggestions of additions to the bibliography (Email: paysach12@gmail.com).
My thanks to Professor Emeritus Milton Shain, who originally asked me to compile such a bibliography. I have simply been building on that original bibliography ever since and thought it worth sharing the more recent portion of it, being texts from the last four years, with a wider audience who may appreciate it. Thanks also to all those who provided information as to their publications so that I could include them.
My reference style is based on UCT author-date. The slight variance is for links at the end of a reference where I have dropped “Available:” before the link and the date accessed at the end. Several subjects are represented including education, history, antisemitism, holocaust, politics, literature, music, religion, business, genealogy and Yiddish.

(Author: Juan-Paul Burke, Vol. 73, No. 1, Pesach 2018)
At the end of 2016, I was asked to compile a bibliography of articles, books and theses as pertain to South African Jewry and Jewish Studies. I knew a few academics writing in the field, but having systematically commenced my searches, I was pleasantly surprised to realize just how much is being written on a variety of topics to do with South African Jewry and Jewish Studies around the country and even further afield.
It was not always obvious what should be included in this bibliography but I have applied a few principles as guidelines. Anything from local community publications has been excluded as it goes without saying that these will be filled with South African Jewish content. Therefore you will find nothing in this listing from Jewish Affairs, SA-SIG Newsletter, Jewish Report, CJC, Hashalom, Jewish Life, Jewish Tradition, Perspective etc. Also excluded are non-Jewish newspapers and magazines and texts where the authors are Jewish but write about something not related to local Jewry or Jewish Studies.
I have included academic, popular and religious texts found in academic journals, books or as theses. In general, unpublished papers presented at conferences are not listed, but an exception has been made with one that I felt was significant enough to include to highlight what research is being done.
This listing cannot be claimed to be comprehensive and it is more than likely that certain items have been missed. It is intended that these be listed in a letter to the editor for the next edition of Jewish Affairs. I appeal to readers to inform me of any edits or suggestions of additions to the bibliography (Email: paysach12@gmail.com).
My thanks to Professor Emeritus Milton Shain, who originally asked me to compile such a bibliography. I have simply been building on that original bibliography ever since and thought it worth sharing the more recent portion of it, being texts from the last four years, with a wider audience who may appreciate it. Thanks also to all those who provided information as to their publications so that I could include them.
My reference style is based on UCT author-date. The slight variance is for links at the end of a reference where I have dropped “Available:” before the link and the date accessed at the end. Several subjects are represented including education, history, antisemitism, holocaust, politics, literature, music, religion, business, genealogy and Yiddish.
