Echoes of Translation

This book focuses on translation, relationality, and gender in the devotional songs of the Bene Israel, a Marathi-speaking Jewish people from western India. Author Anna C. Schultz explores how Bene Israel people have developed a distinctive identity in relation to other Jewish and non-Jewish communities, translating their sounds, words, and practices to have uniquely Marathi Jewish meaning, and relying primarily on the creativity of women as translators.
