Rabbinic Thoughts on Race
Johannesburg: Electric Printing Works, 1951. First edition. Softcover. Octavo. 59pp. Original printed light blue wraps. "There is, cinsequently, neither a systematic teaching, nor an official view on Race and Colour in Rabbinic literature, only various dicta pertaining to the subject, It is therefore not a simple task to disentangle from the vast, varied and incoherent materiel the dominant trend, the leading tendency of Rabbinic Judaism with regards to Race and Race Relations. Yet an attempt to describe objectively the characteristic Weltanschauung, the normative doctrine of Rabbinic Judaism on the subject of racial attitudes, including the attitude to Colour, will be made in this study." (page four). Examination of the Hebrew Bible and Rabbinic sources on race with a "Note on Race and Colour in Classical Antiquity." With 15 pages of notes at rear. Wraps with light wear and sunning along edges, lightly rubbed. Some creasing of block at lower corner. Wraps in overall good-, interior in good to good+ condition. g- to g+. Item #40928
