The conference co-ordinators, Milton Shain (University of Cape Town) and Sander L. Gilman (University of Chicago), are calling for papers which will explore the Jewish experience in frontier settings. The emphasis will be on Jews as a minority within a minority with hegemonic power in colonial and post colonial settings. Thus the conference will examine in an interdisciplinary manner South African Jewry; Anglophone Indian Jewry; Canadian Jewry with a focus on Quebec Jewry and Jewry in the Northern Territories; American Jewry of the colonial period and American Jewry with a focus on the South (French-speaking Louisiana) and the Spanish-speaking Southwest; early Australian and New Zealand Jewry; German Jewry (Haskalah and post-Haskalah) in the Baltic, Central, and Eastern Europe including the non-German speaking areas of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Jewry at the geographic margins in Latin and South America; Ukrainian Jewry in the 18th and 19th centuries; and any other communities that fit the parameters of the conference. Abstracts of presentations are required before 31 January 1996. Presentations will be in English. There is a limited amount of subsidy for accommodation in Cape Town.
