Abstract:
This article investigates the political use of pejorative images of the Jews during the debates on granting the Jews Dutch citizenship and in the polemical writings of the newly founded maskilic Ashkenazi community in Amsterdam. It will demonstrate that pejorative images of the Jews were used to demarcate the boundaries of identity, not only by the non-Jewish Dutch inhabitants, but also by the Dutch maskilim. This article sheds light on the interplay between politics, stereotyping and identity construction.
