  The Arts in Jewish Culture -...

  Jewish artistic expression has evolved over centuries, shaped by religious traditions, historical experiences, and cultural exchanges. From ancient biblical times to the modern era, Jewish creativity has flourished in music, literature, and visual arts, reflecting both continuity and adaptation. Despite periods of persecution and displacement, Jewish artists have found ways to preserve and redefine their cultural identity, using art as a means of storytelling, worship, and resistance. 
  Religious tradition has played a central role in shaping Jewish artistic expression. In early Jewish history, art was often intertwined with religious observance, as seen in the intricate designs of synagogues, illuminated manuscripts, and Torah decorations. The prohibition against graven images, derived from the Second Commandment, led to a focus on symbolic and abstract representation rather than figurative depictions. This influenced the development of decorative arts, such as calligraphy, textiles, and ritual objects, which incorporated elaborate geometric patterns and Hebrew inscriptions. Music also became an integral part of worship, with ancient melodies passed down through generations in synagogue chanting and liturgical songs. 
  The Jewish diaspora further enriched artistic traditions by exposing Jewish communities to diverse cultural influences. As Jews migrated across different regions, they absorbed elements from the surrounding societies while maintaining distinct artistic styles. In medieval Europe, Jewish scholars and poets contributed to the Golden Age of Hebrew literature, particularly in Spain, where they engaged with Islamic and Christian intellectual traditions. In Eastern Europe, Yiddish theater and folk music flourished, blending local influences with Jewish themes. Meanwhile, in the Middle East and North Africa, Jewish artisans adapted their crafts to fit regional aesthetics while preserving religious symbolism.

  The concept of intersectionality has become a central topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another?  
   
   
    
  In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. Analyzing the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept of intersectionality, the authors also consider its global reach through an array of new topics such as the rise of far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding complex architecture of social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change. 
   
   
    
  Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates, and new directions in this field.
