University of Washington Jewish Studies Professor Noam Pianko, author of The Jewish People: Boundaries Beyond Borders delivers a talk entitled ÂIsraeli Nation or
Jewish People? Zionism and the Transformation of Jewish IdentityÂ. Many of the assumptions about what it means to be a Jew today have been shaped by modern
theories of nationalism and Zionism. This lecture explores how modern political thought transformed
popular and scholar conceptions of the Jewish people.
