ethnosfor the ethno-national state call into question the notion that self-determination in the form of the nation-state is a liberating process. Modern democratic nation-states are meant to liberate citizens because they are understood to be ruled by the people and for the people. But if the people existsforthe state and its projects, then there is little liberating about the formula of sovereign citizenship. Instead, self-determination becomes a form of self-elimination, narrowing the possible forms of Jewishness. The case of Israel demonstrates that the classic Jewish Question in Europe has been transformed but not answered by political sovereignty. >Israel Has a Jewish ProblemDalsheim, JoyceOxford9780190680251
