Decolonial Judaism: Triumphal Failures of Barbaric Thinking explores the relationship among geopolitics, religion, and social theory. It argues that during the postcolonial and post-Holocaust era, Jewish thinkers in different parts of the world were influenced by Global South thought and mobilized this rich set of intellectual resources to confront the assimilation of normative Judaism by various incipient neo-colonial powers. By tracing the historical and conceptual lineage of this overlooked conversation, this book explores not only its epistemological opportunities, but also the internal contradictions that led to its ultimate unraveling, especially in the post-9/11 world.

"This is an extraordinary book. It's perhaps even ironic and poignant, given the rising antisemitism under a turn to the right in the USA, the UK, and France ... . Slabodsky takes such problems head on through a creative and provocative synthesis of theories from the global south. ... as this book shows, it should also do so at methodological levels, as the sources, approach, and modes of argumentation are fine exemplars of ... the creolization of theory."
