Both struggled with \u003cbr\u003etheir lack of formal political sovereignty in the nineteenth-century. Simultaneously \u003cbr\u003eEuropean and not European, both endured a bifurcated status, perceived as racially inferior and \u003cbr\u003eyet also seen as a natural part of the European landscape. Both sought to deal with their \u003cbr\u003esubaltern status through nationalism; both had a tangled, ambiguous, and sometimes violent \u003cbr\u003erelationship with Britain and the British Empire; and both sought to revive ancient languages as \u003cbr\u003epart of their drive to create a new identity. The career of Irish politician Robert Briscoe and the \u003cbr\u003etravails of Leopold Bloom are just two examples of the delicate balancing of Irish and Jewish \u003cbr\u003eidentities in the first half of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIrish Questions and Jewish Questions\u003c\/i\u003e explores these shared histories, covering several \u003cbr\u003ecenturies of the Jewish experience in Ireland, as well as events in Israel-Palestine and North \u003cbr\u003eAmerica. The authors examine the leading figures of both national movements to reveal how \u003cbr\u003eeach had an active interest in the successes, and failures, of the other.
