Focusing on Emmanuel Levinas, the book examines the intersections of post-Holocaust Jewish thought and postcolonial theory. Elad Lapidot contends that Levinas preemptively addressed critiques of Eurocentrism, laying the groundwork for decolonial Jewish thought and Zionism since the 1960s. This exploration sheds light on the complexities of identity and ethics in the context of both Jewish history and decolonial discourse, offering a fresh perspective on Levinas's contributions to contemporary debates.
