"[...] perhaps one of the most remarkable contributions to the
already rich literature on Jewish experiences from the late
twentieth to mid-twenty-first century. What makes this book unique,
however, is its focus on the study of Jewish experiences in seven
settings in East and Southeast Asia (namely, Singapore, Manila,
Taipei, Harbin, Shanghai, Rangoon [Yangon], and Surabaya), a region
rarely treated in the voluminous collections of essays in American
and European libraries regarding the plight of Jewish people during
this period. Thus, this work is a great contribution, offering a
new, though less theoretical, perspective."
Henelito A. Sevilla in: Pacific Affairs: 90 (2017) No. 3 "This
volume is a most interesting collection of essays on the history of
seven distinct Jewish communities in East and Southeast Asia [...]
useful volume that brings together compatible and fascinating
histories and opens the way to new avenues of research."
