本章从北非最重要的犹太社区之一突尼斯的角度探讨了犹太国际主义的早期演变。纵观其历史，我们将遇到犹太国际的关键中心，并探索跨社区行动背后的动机。西方犹太人引领了犹太历史的新进程，但随后新形式的犹太国际主义在东欧兴起：犹太侨民的人口中心。这些最初的发展如何传播到亚洲和非洲的社区？非欧洲犹太人对他们有何反应？他们在现代犹太跨社区关系中在多大程度上发展了自己的偏好？突尼斯犹太社区的故事并没有为这些问题提供一般性答案，但它确实打开了一扇窗，让人们了解十九世纪下半叶早期犹太国际主义对非欧洲社区所产生的影响。此外，在这个形成时期，突尼斯成为西方竞争的舞台——随后是犹太社区内部欧洲犹太人不同民族主义倾向及其不断发展的族际工具之间的竞争。因此，只要看一眼突尼斯的犹太社区，就可以了解犹太国际的更广泛轮廓。
This chapter deals with the early evolution of Jewish internationalism from the perspective of one of North Africa’s most important Jewish communities – Tunis. Through its history we shall encounter the key centres of the Jewish International, and explore the motivation behind transcommunal action. Western Jewry led the new course in Jewish history, but subsequently new forms of Jewish internationalism sprang up in Eastern Europe: the demographic centre of the Jewish diaspora. How did these initial developments spread to communities in Asia and Africa? How did non-European Jews react to them? And to what extent did they develop their own preferences in modern Jewish transcommunal relations? The story of Tunis’s Jewish community does not provide a general answer to these questions, but it does open a window onto the effect exerted by early Jewish internationalism in non-European communities during the second half of the nineteenth century. Moreover, in this formative period, Tunisia became an arena for Western competition – followed by competition within the Jewish community between the different nationalist orientations of European Jews and their developing intercommunal tools. As a result, a glance at Tunis’s Jewish community illuminates the broader contours of the Jewish International.
