The mission of this journal is to critically examine the intersectionality of race, gender and class. This special issue puts a new spin on the discussion, holding the mission in tact and further asking "The Jewish Question." Race/ethnicity, gender, class, and - I will also add at least - sexual orientation are not merely a random grouping of identity signifiers. They are important in current political and sociological terms due to the way that they fundamentally constitute power dynamics and thus affect human relations. To ground this discussion within a sphere of American Jewish consciousness is no easy task; although Jews, as a minority, have much to offer that is similar in nature to the perspectives of other minorities, as with each individual group, Jews have particular experiences and history which affect our understanding of these issues. The following essay will develop one sort of Jewish grounding to the discussion of the identity politics of race/ethnicity, gender, class and sexual orientation in philosophical terms. After presenting some theoretical background, this paper examines a Jewish perspective on contemporary identity politics in relation first to Marxism and then to post-modernism in the context of a post-Marxist debate between modernists and post-modernists.
