Articles, Theses & Books pertaining to SA Jewry and Jewish Studies, 2018, with additions for 2014-2017

Author: Published on: Published in: Jewish History – South Africa

(Author: Juan-Paul Burke, Vol 74, #1, Pesach 2019)

 

This bibliography follows on from the one that appeared, under the title ‘Articles, Theses & Books pertaining to SA Jewry and Jewish Studies, 2014-2017’ in the Pesach 2018 issue of Jewish Affairs. As the title suggests, the reader can expect to find the year 2018 well covered in this bibliography as well as additions for the years 2014-2017 that were missed the first time around.

As noted in the previous bibliography, I have excluded anything from local community publications as it goes without saying that they will be filled with South African Jewish content. Also excluded are articles in non-Jewish newspapers and magazines. I have included academic, popular and religious texts found in academic journals, books or as theses. A couple of new websites are also included.

This listing cannot be claimed to be comprehensive and it is more than likely that certain items have been missed. I appeal to readers to inform me of any edits or suggestions of additions to the bibliography (email: paysach12@gmail.com ).

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.
