Moses and Multiculturalism
Johnson, Barbara.
Moses and Multiculturalism - Berkeley : University of California Press, (c)2010. - 1 online resource (127 pages) - FlashPoints ; v. 2 .
Includes bibliographies and index.
Cover; Table of Contents; Foreword; Introduction; 1. The Biblical Moses; 2. Moses and the Law; 3. Flavius Josephus; 4. Frances E.W. Harper; 5. Moses, the Egyptian; 6. Freud's Moses; 7. Hurston's Moses; 8. The German Moses; 9. Moses, the Movie; Epilogue; Notes; Index.
Countering impressions of Moses reinforced by Sigmund Freud in his epoch-making Moses and Monotheism, this concise, engaging work begins with the perception that the story of Moses is at once the most nationalist and the most multicultural of all foundation narratives. Weaving together various texts--biblical passages, philosophy, poems, novels, opera, and movies--Barbara Johnson explores how the story of Moses has been appropriated, reimagined, and transmitted across cultures and historical moments. But she finds that already in the Bible, the story of Moses is a multicultural story, the story.
