Abraham Serfaty´s Double Critique of Arab and Zionist Nationalisms

Abstract:

This article deals with Abraham Serfaty´s contribution to postcolonial studies in his early theoretical essays on Zionism, Arab nationalism and Arab/Moroccan Judaism. As a prominent intellectual and political theorist and activist, Serfaty´s double critique of both Zionism and Arab nationalism shows how both ideologies concur in denying the Arab Jew subject any kind of agency.
